EDUCATION DIVISION
MISSION
The NSS Education Division
actively supports the Society’s role of educating our members, the caving
community, youth organizations, government and private agencies and the general
public.
EDUCATION DIVISION OPERATION
PHILOSOPHY
Education supports
only one of two ends: it either forces compliance to what we believe is right or
it provides the tools with which we can shape what we will become.
This division will provide resources to shape what we will become.
Education
will be used as a common denominator for creating partnerships with
funding sources, businesses, industries and government agencies. Leaders and
members will be involved in the education decision-making process.
The Division
supports pioneering efforts in Speleological education.
We create partnerships with the innovative programs.
Education will become the nexus that will
move the NSS into new areas of activity that support our present focus.
It is important to assure that
Conservation
and preservation of our karst and groundwater resources continue to be included
in current and future NSS programs and services.
