ANREP elections coming up later this summer
Just a heads up that ANREP's annual election for association leaders is coming up later this summer. We will be electing a president-elect, treasurer, and representatives for the northeast and north central regions. Those individuals will assume their offices on January 1, 2025.
Past ANREP leaders often reflect that their time in an association board role was a great experience. Historically, our leaders were both seasoned professionals and those at an earlier staged in their career.
To learn more about one of these roles, please see the ANREP Policies and Procedures manual (starts on page 7), or contact a board member. |

The ANREP DEI Committee Announces
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in Outreach and Environmental Education
A Special Topics Course for ANREP Members
August – October 2024
5 modules: 6 facilitated discussions
Asynchronous: Zoom
Kickoff - August 27
30 minutes | 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)
Session Dates - September 10, 17, 24; October 1 & 8
60 minutes each | 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)
This asynchronous course, which will use the Moodle platform and ZOOM with professionally facilitated virtual discussions to dig deeper, serves as an introduction to spark interest in further learning around justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. It is designed to provide a strong foundation in the language, concepts, and principles of equity work in our professional and personal lives.
The full cost of this course is over $200, but ANREP members can participate in the course at a substantially reduced registration fee of only $60.
This special opportunity is made possible through ANREP's partnership with the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) through the ee360+ initiative, and by support form the ANREP Executive Committee.
Space is limited to 20 and this course is likely to sell out quickly, so register soon. The enrollment deadline is July 26, 2024.
