Action Plan 2002-2003
The Board of Directors of the Nevada Natural Resource Education Council (NNREC) has adopted this action plan for the fiscal year 2002-2003 to fulfill the mission of the organization.
- Hold an annual meeting and spring conference in western Nevada.
- The Board of Directors will meet as often as necessary to clear the backlog of business issues before the annual meeting so that the next year can focus on vision and planning. Make board development an ongoing aspect of meetings.
- Revise the Articles of Incorporation to reflect the current bylaws and organizational structure. [complete at the annual meeting]
- Develop a full set of board governance polices. [complete before the annual meeting]

- Issue two printed newsletters, one in fall and one in spring. Provide E-Newsletter via email about once per month.
- Continue to enhance the website so that it is an effective communication tool within NNREC, between NNREC and the environmental education community, and within the environmental education community.
- Actively encourage people in the environmental education community to become members of NNREC.
- Review membership categories, dues, and benefits. [complete by spring conference]

- Following the annual meeting and Advisory Committee meeting at the spring conference, initiate revision of the strategic plan, including consideration of changing the mission, objectives, and name of the organization. Utilize input from the board, organization members, the Advisory Committee, and the larger environmental education community in revising the strategic plan.
- Create a scholarship program and scholarship endowment, and actively solicit donations to the endowment. [complete by March 1, fundraising ongoing]
