NAWM STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND EQUITY
For 40 years, the National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM) has stayed true to its mission to “promote and enhance protection and management of wetland resources, to promote application of sound science to wetland management efforts and to provide training and education for our members and the public.” From NAWM’s inception, one of the goals of NAWM as identified by its first Board of Directors, was to “encourage minority participation in wetland protection, restoration and management.” This goal remains important to NAWM, and we will continue to work on this while also recognizing there is much ground to cover.
