After more years in agricultural communications than I care to remember I keep finding organizations that are new to me. This one is the American Association for Agricultural Education.

Goals of AAAE
Serve as an advocate for improvement of teaching and learning in agriculture.
Provide a forum to address issues in agricultural education.
Provide an approach to identifying, prioritizing, and organizing research in teaching and learning.
Provide opportunities for individual and organizational growth, development, and renewal.
Provide opportunities to communicate the results of research and other scholarly activities.
Provide opportunities for collaboration within and outside of agricultural education.
Provide for recruiting, inducting, and mentoring people into the profession.

The AAAE 2009 National Conference will be held in Louisville in May. I see they’ve started a Wiki to allow members to update information.
