Hi! I'm the Program Coordinator for the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education. My primary roles are facilitating our Careers in Natural Resources Initiative, Awards for Excellence in Environmental Education, and other EE Professional Development in Colorado.

Having co-authored 12 books and manuals (including three for NAAEE); published 33 book chapters, 80 peer-reviewed journal articles, and 198 extension fact sheets; and served on 160 graduate student committees in her 20 years at the University of Florida, Dr. Martha Monroe is a prolific leader and contributor for catalyzing environmental education research. Her accomplishments working at the nexus of EE research and practice are as diverse as they are numerous, blending expertise in program evaluation, learning, professional development, and behavior change to help build capacity and empower people to participate in addressing environmental issues.
