RIEEA Annual Summit

ABOUT THE RIEEA ANNUAL SUMMIT

Each year, RIEEA hosts a Summit to bring together engaged communities throughout the state and from across various sectors. Nonformal educators, classroom teachers, university/college faculty and staff, students, environmental justice advocates, as well as representatives in the health, business, agricultural, and science fields, meet to build networks, gather resources, share best practices, and cultivate leadership skills for widespread environmental literacy adoption and implementation.
