NAAEE is committed to building leadership skills and providing opportunities for a diverse cadre of multi-generational learners to grow, share, and innovate. As the champion and backbone organization for the field, we have a responsibility to build a leadership pipeline and to support new, emerging, mid-career, and seasoned leaders to advance environmental literacy and civic engagement. In addition, a leadership strategy can help make the field relevant to a broader audience and create an equitable and inclusive movement that attracts and retains new talent.
