The Secretary’s Advisory Group on Environmental Education was formed in Massachusetts over two decades ago to advise the Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs ( EOEA) and the Commissioner of the Department of Education ( DOE) on strategy for the development of environmental education. SAGEE is a statewide organization of professional formal and non-formal environmental educators who function in a variety of capacities in both the public and private sectors. Active members meet quarterly and work with designated EOEA and DOE staff to provide counsel and assistance in implementing a plan for environmental education throughout the Commonwealth. |

The whole body of SAGEE, a group made up of educators from across the state, meets quarterly to report on the progress of projects, catch up on issues, and to maintain the direction and momentum of the group. Often at quarterly meetings there is a highlighted speaker or discussion focused on timely topics. Most of SAGEE's work is accomplished by individuals and committees during the course of the year. Committees are established ad hoc to complete at ask or project, with the exception of the Steering Committee, which is a permanent subgroup of SAGEE with rotating officers. For a complete look at the structure of SAGEE and the details of its operation, please consult it Structure Document.
