About AORE
Mission
The mission of the Association is to provide opportunities for professionals and students in the field of outdoor recreation and education to exchange information, promote the preservation and conservation of the natural environment, and address issues common to college, university, community, military, and other not-for-profit outdoor recreation and education programs.
AORE Bylaws
AORE Strategic Plan
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, please click here.
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.
The AORE National Office is currently based out of Ann Arbor, MI. It is headed by Executive Director, Jeannette Stawski. Dory Mead is the Office Manager.
Membership
AORE members are programmers, teachers, leaders, and students involved in outdoor programs. These include: college and university non-credit recreational programs and degree granting programs, military recreation, community recreation, and private outdoor schools.

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.
Memorandums of Understanding
The AORE works with other organizations, programs, companies and businesses to provide member services as we meet the needs of the membership. The Association works collaboratively to provide mutually beneficial understandings and to foster long term relationships. Currently, the AORE is working alongside: National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association, American Canoe Association, OutdoorEd.com, National Outdoor Book Awards, and others as well.
