Our Organization’s History

NMEA has a rich history that spans over 45 years. The first conference was held in 1976 and the organization was incorporated in 1985. With annual conferences, awards, lectures, presidents, and the famous PIKE, there’s a lot to look back on over the years!

We are currently working on updating our history archive on this new website. Please check back for more information, or contact our national office at nmea@marine-ed.org.
