Electronic Mailing ListsNevAEYC has two electronic mailing lists which are open to
members and the larger ECE community. The first list is called NEVAEYCNEWS-L and is a distribution list only. It is used to distribute the NevAEYC quarterly newsletter and other news and updates. This list does not allow you to respond or use it for discussions. The second list is called ECEPUBLICPOLICY-L and is a discussion forum for issues related to ECE and NevAEYC. This list is interactive and allows subscribers to post messages to the entire list.
Challenges
• Membership– How do we retain members?– What are the “Benefits of Membership” that
will appeal to all levels of ECE educators?– How do we serve members throughout a state
that is separated by miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles?
– How do we establish effective collaborations to avoid “overlapping of services”?
It’s a long, long road ahead!
