Conference Theme "Casting a Wider Net for Environmental Education." Our ability to reach out and be inclusive of all who can benefit from the power of EE is essential to the long-term success of the field in today's pluralistic society. By "Casting a Wider Net for Environmental Education", we are reaffirming our commitment to reach a broader audience for Environmental Education. We are doing so by actively pursuing initiatives and collaborations in the arenas of EE advocacy, accreditation of university-based teacher preparation programs, certification of nonformal environmental educators, diversity initiatives in partnership with other education groups, research and related evaluation and assessment activities, and professional review of EE materials. Recent advances in these areas, in fact, have put us in a better position to broaden our base and impact. The Conference Committee has defined seven Conference strands:

Pre Conference Symposium Sharing Our Research Interests, Accomplishments and Plans The NAAEE Research Commission is pleased to invite you to come to Biloxi, Mississippi for the First Annual NAAEE Pre-Conference EE Research Symposium. It is our hope that this annual NAAEE pre-conference meeting will help facilitate discussion and collaboration among active and prospective EE researchers and students from around the world. The inaugural EE Research Symposium will provide opportunities for Sharing Our Research Interests, Accomplishments and Plans. As researchers we are actively engaged in research programs and evaluation studies that range from quantitative and mixed methods approaches, through a number of qualitative traditions (such as ethnography, phenomenology, narrative/autobiography, participatory action research) and perspectives from interpretive and critical to postmodern, feminist, gendered and cultural studies. The annual symposium, unlike the more practitioner-oriented sessions of the general NAAEE conference and the associated pre-conference workshops, will focus on research discussions by and for researchers. In addition to a supportive forum of exchange, we hope to establish a basis for ongoing networks, links and projects of mutual interest in EE research results, methods and methodologies. When: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM November 5 and 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM November 6, 2004 Where: Grand Casino Biloxi Bayview Hotel Costs: $195 members, $250 non-members. If participating in both symposium and Annual Conference, $145 members, $200 non-members This includes a welcome reception on Friday evening, participation in all sessions, printed program handout, and a Saturday morning coffee break, buffet lunch and afternoon refreshment break.
