Register Now for the Better Together Summit!!

MEEA Members and Friends,

We are so excited to invite you to the Better Together Summit at Pineland Farms on October 24-26^th. You may have noticed that MEEA's annual spring conference at Chewonki did not take place this year. That is because every six years MEEA has the opportunity to plan and host the New England Environmental Education Alliance (NEEEA) conference in Maine. This year we have planned an incredibly inspiring three day event that should NOT be missed! We are so looking forward to reconnecting with you all at Pineland Farms and encourage you to bring along some new faces to strengthen and broaden our network! Space is limited; register now to secure your spot.

-Sincerely,

The MEEA Board of Directors
