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.

It that time of year again. This year the positions of Deputy Director
and Secretary for Region 6 are up for grabs. Descriptions of their duties
can be found by clicking on
this link. Being a member of the board is a great way to give back
to NAI, get to know other members, and learn the ins and outs of the organization.
It also looks good on a résumé. Neither incumbent is planning
to run for this next term. Therefore, this is a great opportunity to get
on the board and represent.
If anyone is interested in running for one of these positions please let
Don R. Simons, CHI, Elections
Chair know right away.
