Launch of NAEAA is an International success!
Over 80 representatives from 45 Colleges and Universities with offerings in the equine
discipline gathered in Keystone Colorado in 2009 for the inaugural conference of the
National Association of Equine Affiliated Academics ( NAEAA). The purpose of NAEAA is
to advance the equine academic discipline through increased communication and
cooperation among institutions with offerings in the equine discipline. The inaugural
conference was held in advance of the Equine Science Society – an organization in
place since the early 60’s that brings together the top researchers in equine science.
The NAEAA conference drew participants across the US as well as from Australia and
Canada and through the meetings gained new members from France, Norway, and
Ireland. Conference evaluations revealed that 91% of participants were either very
satisfied (80%) or satisfied (11%) with the conference, and 97% felt the conference met
(51%) or exceeded (46%) their expectations. In addition, 49% of attendees felt their
satisfaction with the NAEAA conference was higher than experienced with other
conferences while an additional 46% indicated their satisfaction was similar to other
conferences attended. The NAEAA membership elected to meet annually given
considerable interest in this new cooperative venture and the excitement built during the
inaugural meeting.
