Work with Conference Committees to organize and hold new member events at Association conferences and workshops. Identify ways to incorporate cultural diversity and include minority issues and perspectives in EE and WAEE activities. WAEE recognizes schools, youth groups, individual students, and educators for outstanding environmental efforts each year. WAEE encourages all members to reach for new heights in environmental education by presenting achievement awards annually. WAEE Awards program is the responsibility of the Membership Committee in an attempt to re cognize and support outstanding individuals and groups in their contributions to the field of environmental education.
Nominating forms are available each year starting with the fall conference.
Completed applications are due in March. Contact WAEE for more details. Put out a call for nominations, receive nominations, send application materials to nominees, and organize an ad hoc committee to judge awards. Arrange for purchase and engraving of plaques and preparation of other awards. Coordinate requests for donations.
