Audrey Binder became involved with the NAEP when a friend asked her to help plan the program for one of NAEP’s first conferences. Two years later she joined the NAEP in 1980, and the rest is history. Audrey was an elected Board Director from 1981 – 1996. She's been on numerous committees over the years, and chair of several, including Membership, Zirzow Student Award, Fellows, and Awards. She has been NAEP President for 2 terms, Vice-President for 4 terms, and Secretary for 4 terms...

Marc Bruner

Marc Bruner likes to think of himself as an early example of a vertically integrated member of NAEP. From a position of the President of a local Chapter covering a five-county region in southeast Florida, Marc had the opportunity to move up to being the President of the Florida Association of Environmental Professionals (FAEP). After serving as a Chapter Representative on the NAEP Board, he then had the privilege of serving as President of NAEP. This gave Marc a wonderful opportunity to see the benefits of NAEP through all its levels of interaction with its members. It also let him see the different challenges faced at the local, state and national level to provide service, value and opportunities for the membership of NAEP.

John Daugherty

A grad John invited to talk to current students told him about the NAEP. He applied and got a call from Norm Arnold inviting him to run for the Board of Directors. He went to D.C. and talked with Norm and Chuck Zirzow, and things went from there. John Daugherty was elected in what he believes was the first general membership election of Board members and was part of a group that replaced some of the original Board members. At that time, the Board consisted of 6 at-large elected members and the Chapter Rep from MD. John served on the Board for 27 years, 7 as treasurer, 1 as vice president and 2 as president.

John Perkins

John Perkins joined NAEP in the early 1980s because of its then almost unique focus on environmental problem-solving. Very few alternatives existed, and NAEP looked like a good group. So, John joined, received The Environmental Professional, and published an article in it, which was the extent of his experience till the mid-1990s. John finally attended my first conference in response to an invitation to discuss the establishment of a body to accredit academic environmental programs.
