The National Association of Wetland Managers is a nonprofit membership organization established in 1983 to promote and enhance protection and management of wetland resources, to promote application of sound science to wetland management efforts and to provide training and education for our members and the public. Membership is open to anyone who is involved with wetland resources.
The National Association of Wetland Managers Needs Volunteers
There are always many topic areas and activities the National Association of Wetland Mangers (NAWM) would like to expand to better serve its members, the wetland community and the public. Below are areas where volunteers are needed.
Volunteers are needed each year to help NAWM with conferences/workshops. Volunteers can assist with conference planning by joining the conference advisory committee and taking on specific tasks; these include organizing concurrent sessions, supervising displays, organizing field trips, and many other tasks. During the conference volunteers are needed to moderate sessions, moderate lunch discussions, load power-point presentations, staff the registration desk and many other activities.
To inquire about volunteering for one of our conferences/workshops, contact Laura Burchill.
