Sponsorship Opportunities
By supporting the NMEA 2023 Conference you will be part of a special event that brings together hundreds of inspired and passionate professional educators dedicated to teaching about our marine, coastal and aquatic environments. NMEA members promote the conservation, enjoyment, and wise use of aquatic resources, and your support will facilitate engagement with new science, exploration of new teaching techniques and foster professional connections to improve the future of our waterways and communities.
Conference sponsors make it possible for registration to be affordable for all members. Many teachers receive no support from their employers to attend professional development programs during the summer. Similarly, smaller organizations struggle to send informal educators when working with a tight budget. Your sponsorship will positively impact local educators and help provide young people with inspiring curriculum, hands-on experiences and life-changing learning.
