WHAT
IS WEEB?
The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB) is
a non-profit entity formed by the Governor in 1990 to provide positive
leadership, advocacy and policy making in the development of learning
opportunities that empower Wisconsin citizens with the knowledge
and skills needed to make wise environmental decisions and take
responsible actions in their personal lives, workplaces and communities.
The
Board is comprised of members from the State Legislature,
University of Wisconsin System, Wisconsin Technical College System,
Environmental Organizations, Department of Natural Resources, Business and
Industry, Nature Centers and Zoos, Agriculture, Department of Public
Instruction, Environmental Educators, Labor, and Higher Education.
Since its inception, the board has been a very active, “hands on” working group. In addition to operating an environmental grants program, the board has been recognized as a consensus-building group on environmental education issues. The unique make-up and mission of the board position it to provide needed leadership to “EE” while recognizing the importance of building common purpose and direction among diverse community sectors and stakeholders.
