    The Association for Experiential Education (AEE) is a not-for-profit
    professional organization with roots in adventure education, committed
    to the development, practice, and evaluation of experiential education
    in all settings. AEE has more than 2,300 members in three dozen
    countries.

    The National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE) is a nonprofit
    membership association of educators and community leaders founded in
    1971 and dedicated to "fostering effective use of experience as an
    integral part of education, in order to empower learners and promote
    the common good."

    This pioneering joint regional conference is a first for both
    organizations. By bringing the two organizations together, we will
    be able to learn from each other's techniques and values. We will
    "Unlock the Magic" of our mutual organizations and memberships.
    Be apart of history in this exciting and high energy collaborative
    effort!

    The 1998 AEE/NSEE Conference is focusing on current professional
    practices, methods, and research in the growing field of experiential
    learning utilizing a variety of mediums. Presentation topics related
    to administration, management, supervision, creative programming,
    diverse populations, marketing, funding sources, research and
    evaluation, hands-on activities, service learning and practitioner
    skills are welcome. Particular attention will be given to those
    presentations that address both NSEE and AEE memberships.

    In an attempt to meet the growing needs specific to experiential
    educators, AEE and NSEE are evolving into a more broad based
    association, reaching out to and being inclusive of professionals in
    related fields. The annual Northeast Regional Conference is an
    opportunity for AEE and NSEE to serve the profession and
    professionalsto engage in contributing and influencing the direction
    of the industry. We welcome and invite all experiential educators
    and professionals from related fields to submit a workshop proposal
    and/or come and share in the fun, the networking, and the continuing
    evolution of our industry!
