MAMEA Mini-Conferences:
Focus Group Results: Members Voice Their Needs
One of MAMEA's important annual objectives is to provide affordable and accessible Professional Development opportunities that address marine and aquatic education topics. We surveyed MAMEAns attending the winter 2009 mini-conferences and compiled a list of topics and activities suggested for future professional development opportunities. If you couldn't attend the mini-conferences, we'd like to hear from you, too! We have a brief survey you can use at www.mamea.org/survey.
