Colorado Alliance of Environmental Educators need your help in developing its future

I serve on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Alliance of Environmental Educators. We need some input on the future of CAEE.  If you have a relationship with Environmental Education and Colorado can you please complete the survey. The original deadline was tomorrow but we are not getting enough feedback so…..

Warmest greetings. The Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) for your thoughts and opinions about the future of our organization. We acknowledge you as a leader in our community, and your observations, views and insights are important to us!

CAEE is beginning the process of updating our strategic plan, a plan that will outline our vision, goals and primary activities for the next five years. Currently our organization is operating under the guidance of a 2006 strategic plan, and many of the goals and activities described in that plan have been accomplished. Furthermore, as we look ahead to the future, we must consider that much about our social, economic, political, educational, environmental, and organizational climate has changed in the last decade.

How should CAEE change to adapt to these new conditions? Who do we need to reach out to? What do we need to do to be most effective in the future?

As an alliance of organizations for environmental education, what might we do to provide services to and attract the support of the many potential allies in our state-wide community? And more specifically, what might we do to serve your needs and the needs of your peers?

We want to know what you think.

Attached to this email, we are sending you a short list of questions. Our hope is that you will take the time to contemplate and carefully consider your response, as your views will help us plan the future for this organization.

Please help us by writing your answers and returning them to us (see address below), OR calling us to discuss these ideas before Friday August 24th.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would rather discuss these ideas personally, please feel free to call or write to CAEE OR to the name and address below. (Karen is helping to facilitate our planning process, and will be viewing and compiling your responses.) We may also follow up with a personal phone call to you.
