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.

Do you give talks or lead guided tours?

Do you interact with visitors to help them understand exhibits at your site?

Do you plan talks, tours, or exhibits?

Do you visit schools and other places to present educational programs associated with a heritage site?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be an interpreter!

Region VI members include folks who work at parks, museums, nature centers, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums, commercial tour companies, or even theme parks--just to mention a few! We include a wide range of folks that we call family--from college students to college professors, new professionals to veteran professionals to retired professionals and formal educators to non-formal educators! So check out our website and if you'd like to find out more about becoming a Region VI'er contact our membership chair.
