National Association of Environmental Professionals The National Association of Environmental Professionals is a multi-disciplinary association for professionals dedicated to the advancement of environmental professions. The organization serves as a forum for environmental planning, research and management, as well as a network of professional contacts and resources for career development. NAEP is a strong proponent of ethics and the highest standards of practice in environmental professions. SFA’s chapter of the NAEP hosts a yearly symposium, which addresses current environmental issues such as water quality and availability and invasive species. These forums are dedicated to educating the public on pressing environmental issues and bring together an array of experts to discuss research and potential solutions to the problems that effect the global community. Members take time to enjoy the outdoors through social events such as camping and kayak trips. With NAEP membership comes opportunities for outreach, professional development, professional networking, as well as lasting friendships. Adviser: Dr. Kenneth Farrish kfarrish@sfasu.edu
