AORE Goals and Objectives
Board of Directors
AORE's Board of Directors serves as volunteers for the Association and is elected by the membership.
They are practitioners who have a vested interest in protecting and advancing the profession of outdoor
recreation and education. AORE is a grass-roots, non-bureaucratic organization with an agenda developed
by the membership. To learn more about the current AORE Board of Directors and how to become involved,

Committees
The Board of Directors maintains the Association's goals and objectives and annually develops and follows a strategic map.
Committees serve two purposes: first, to provide an outlet to the membership to pursue initiatives of the
membership with the support of the Board of Directors; and second, to fulfill ongoing expectations and work
to maintain the Association's development as assigned by the Board. To learn more about current AORE
committees and how to become involved, please click here.

AORE Conference
If you're an outdoor professional from a college, university, military base,
community recreation center or other not-for-profit outdoor program, the AORE
conference is the year's most important event. For several days in late October
and early November, outdoor professionals come together to share ideas, learn new
techniques and re-energize themselves for another year. The AORE conference is the
gathering of friends and colleagues, a place to renew friendships and meet new people
in your field. To learn more about the upcoming AORE annual conference,
please click here.
The AORE conference doesn't just happen. It needs a school or organization to
host the conference, and a small core group of people who are willing to provide
a home for the conference and do all the work necessary to put it together. The
conference is truly a grass roots effort. There's no big event company running
our conference--it's every one of us, working cooperatively to make it happen.
