The National Association for Interpretation Region 5
membership consists of  interpreters from state parks, county agencies, museums, zoos, park districts, recreation facilities and many other public and private organizations from Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Manitoba,
and Nunavut.

Interpretation is a mission-based communication process that forges emotional and intellectual connections between the interests of the audience and the meanings inherent in the resource.

Our mission is to inspire leadership and excellence to advance heritage interpretation as a profession.
