Environmental Concerns
The Environmental Concerns Committee provides education employees with useful environmental lessons,
ideas and resources; current information on indoor and outdoor environment issues and representation
at professional meetings of environmental organizations. The committee collaborates with outside
agencies and community programs to organize workshops, training sessions and events for NEOEA members
and makes recommendations to NEOEA on environmental issues.
