APAIE President Doo-Hee LEE has become a member of the Executive Committee of NIEA
Declaration of the launching of the Network of International Education Association (The Network of International Education Associations) took place during the NAFSA 2007 conference.
The Network will have a seven member Executive Committee (EC) drawn from representatives of the member associations. Those seven EC consist of APAIE (Doo-Hee LEE), AIEA (Uliana Gabara), AMPEI (Franco Antonio Osuna Garzon), EAIE (Antoinette Charon Wauters), AIEA (John Hudzik), IEAA (Tony Adams), JAFSA (George Harada).
It is expected that as an Executive Committee member, APAIE will play a pivotal role in advancing internationalization of higher education and further APAIE will position itself to become a leading education association.
Organizational Description and General Purpose
The Network is an association of non-profit, non-government international education associations from countries and regions throughout the world which share a common mission to advance internationalization of higher education. The network advances the global learning of post-secondary education organizations through the exchange of information and dialog, advocacy for international education, professional development, and discovery of new approaches to international education. The network will meet at least once annually, more often as appropriate.
Activities and Projects
Specific activities and projects of the Network will vary from year to year and undergo change over time. It is expected, however, that the following will be considered for initial activities, perhaps phased in as needed.
1.
Access to member associations (e.g., posting URLs of member associations' websites; possibly a composite calendar of members associations' events).
2.
Participation at member association conferences (e.g., through panels, network fora, joint presentations on global issues, regional issues updates, co-sponsorship of speakers, assessments of new, proposed or needed national or global policies).
3.
Cross marketing of training and professional development programs of member associations; possible common programs and possibly joint programming.
4.
Facilitate Network member associations' participation in joint research projects, especially those which foster new approaches to international education.
5.
Develop policy positions and advocacy as appropriate on international post secondary issues.
6.
Periodically organize a World Congress for International Education, in cooperation with member associations.
