WOW  What a great NMEA 2021 Conference! Kudos to Leann Winn and the other conference co-chairs. 
July 17th was the final day and NYSMEA was proud to host an in-person field trip to the fantastic, new Energy and Nature Center at Jones Beach. Director Jeanne Haffner gave us a comprehensive tour of the new facility and a glimpse at the curriculum on which they are working.  Be sure to check out the website  https://www.jonesbeachenc.org/  and visit soon  



   





We are excited to announce that we are planning the NMEA 2022 Conference for next summer at Hofstra University in Nassau County New York. It will be  a hybrid format with a full in person schedule and virtual options.  The committee is actively meeting under the direction of our Conference Chairs, Sarah Richards, Meg Marrero, Leann Winn and Lou siegel. 
 Please contact Sarah at srichards@saintannsny.org to join our team. 


We are also looking for additional sponsorship as well as presenters. 
Hope to see you there!
