AFFILIATE NETWORK
What is the Affiliate Network?
The affiliate organizations formed the Affiliate Network of NAAEE to network, support, and gain new perspectives through shared learning. The Affiliate Network provides a forum for ongoing dialogue and activities that work to enhance EE capacity at all levels. The Network strives to improve efficiency, greater effectiveness, and a stronger and more unified voice for EE on the provincial, state, territorial, regional, national, and international levels.
AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS
What is an Affiliate Organization?
An affiliate organization is a state, territorial, provincial, or regional EE association whose purpose it is to promote and enhance environmental education. Affiliates are organizations in the field of environmental education that have chosen to affiliate with North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) and have been approved by the Affiliate Network Steering Committee (see Application Description and Procedure).
AFFILIATES PARTNERSHIP
What is the Affiliate Partnership?
The Affiliate Network was first conceived during a workshop at the 1990 (NAAEE) conference in San Antonio, Texas. Since that time, the Affiliate Network has grown to a membership of more than 45 organizations with tremendous potential to support NAAEE and further the field of environmental education. Realizing this potential the Board of Directors of NAAEE formally recognized the Affiliate Network in 1997 with the adoption of a five-year strategic plan. In 1998, the Affiliate Partnership was created. This Partnership established and defined an on-going, working relationship between the Affiliate Network and NAAEE with constitutional and bylaw changes.
