Update on MEEA Happenings...

Hello MEEA Members,
Hope your summer was well.  MEEA has been busy this summer working on many exciting projects and collaborating with the New England Environmental Education Alliance to raise money to help implement Maine's Environmental Literacy Plan.  We look forward to awarding EPA funds to some outstanding Maine recipients later this fall and are so pleased to be able to support the great work that is happening in Maine!   

We are working hard on redevolpment of our website and are excited to be creating a new website that will be full of resources for formal and nonformal educators.  This is one of our most important goals and we are hoping to have the new site live in January 2013.

MEEA, in collaboration with NEEEA, will be hosting a one day conference October 26th at the University of New England.  Speakers from all over the region will join with Maine EE leaders to talk about implementing Envrionemental Literacy Plans and building capacity for EE programs and associations.  It will be a very educational and inspiring day and we hope you choose to join us!

MEEA will be at the Common Ground Fair this year!  Please stop by our table and say hi.  Thank you for all your support and for the good work you are doing in our state!
