Peer Meetings

Peer Meetings bring nature and environmental learning center leaders together for one-day meetings throughout the country, and provide those leaders the opportunity to discuss what is happening in their region, share program updates, and network with peers. They are available to members and non-members, and often include a nominal fee to cover food and other meeting costs.

ANCA member centers host Peer Meetings, and include an introduction to ANCA, site and facility tours, speakers or workshops, and networking opportunities. Meetings are currently held virtually due to the pandemic. If you are interested in hosting a Peer Meeting, please contact Sarah Reding, ANCA Events Coordinator, at .
