Board members represent various sectors. If you are interested in serving as a Board member, please complete a nomination form.

Committee Member
Committee members help to promote environmental education in all segments of society by creating and implementing annual operational plans based on the goals and objectives identified within the strategic planning document.
New committees (to implement the EE2010 plan) were created at the WEEB's January 2007 meeting. More information about the work of the committees can be found in the " Committee" section of the website. If you are interested in serving please contact the WEEB office.
Grant Reviewer
Grant reviewers conduct the screening of the grant proposals. To insure the best proposals are recommended for funding, the Board seeks reviewers from a wide variety of disciplines (not just education). If you are interested in serving as a grant reviewer, please complete and submit a grant reviewer application form.
In mid-February, reviewers are sent approximately 10 proposals for review and ranking. Each proposal is reviewed by at least three reviewers.
All the reviewers meet in mid-March. The purpose of the meeting is to come to a consensus about which proposals should be recommended for funding. The WEEB makes final decisions about which proposals to fund at their April meeting.
Site Reviewer
Site reviewers conduct an on-site review of funded proposals. The purpose of the review is to provide feedback information to the WEEB about the project. Site reviews are scheduled at the convenience of the reviewer and the project director, but typically take place between May and October.
Generally site reviewers have previously served as merit reviewers. If you are interested in serving as a site reviewer, please contact the WEEB office.
