In 2019, KAEE co-hosted NAAEE’s 48 Annual Conference, which welcomed more than 1,250 participants and focused on the many ways that education is helping to create a more just and sustainable future for all. Sessions focused on the three interwoven pillars of sustainability—social equity, shared prosperity, and environmental integrity—as well as how education can build hope, motivate action, and help achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals championed by the United Nations and leaders in more than 170 countries.
The conference also highlighted efforts to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has access to nature and high quality environmental education. Come share ideas and explore ways to create a more sustainable future through the great power of environmental education!
At the conference, KAEE members and longtime friends Melinda Wilder and Jenny Hubbard-Sánchez received awards. Wilder was named the 2019 Higher Education Educator of the Year, and Hubbard-Sánchez received the award for Outstanding Service to EE on the Local Level.
