Thank you for your interest in the Ecological and Environmental Education Special Interest Group (EEE-SIG) of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).  Please consider joining the SIG.  We hope you will become part of this international network of ecological and environmental education researchers.  

EEE-SIG Membership Info
The best way to pay dues is to access the AERA website at (http://www.aera.net), download the membership form, and return it with your payment to AERA, 1230 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20036 Phone: (202) 223-9485 Fax: (202) 775-1824.

You can also pay AERA and SIG memberships by credit card at the annual meeting (credit cards are not accepted over the phone for membership).  Although we do accept memberships in the EEE SIG without also joining as a member of AERA, we encourage people to join both since the number of paper presentation slots on the annual meeting program is tied to the number of SIG members who are also AERA members.

If you wish to only join the EEE-SIG then the best way to do that is to fill out the AERA membership form, write a check made out to AERA ($5.00 each year), and send to Anneliese Mueller, EEE-SIG Secretary-Treasurer, SUNY Plattsburgh, Elementary Education Dept.  Sibley Hall, Plattsburgh, NY 12901  anneliese.Mueller@plattsburgh.edu
