The first section of this part of the NAREA website includes a Greeting from Reggio, which was given to the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance by our Reggio Emilia colleagues in November 2002 at NAREA's first formal meeting. The Background section includes organizational information about the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance on the Goals & Mission page, the Logo Story page and the Lifetime Achievement Award page. In the Communication & Networking section, there is information about the monthly NAREA E-Newsletter, the quarterly NAREA Column, the Innovations periodical and NAREA Membership Coordinators. There are also sections on NAREA's annual professional development initiatives on the NAREA Summer Conference and Winter Conference pages, which include current and historical conference information as well as on-line registration pages, which are active during the registration periods for the conferences. The Membership section includes Membership Benefits, Join NAREA, Renew Membership, Membership Coordinators and Annual Study Tour Drawing pages as well as the Members Only page, where NAREA members can log in to access additional information to support their professional development. This part of the NAREA website also includes the Donate to NAREA section, where there are opportunities to Volunteer or Donate monetary contributions to the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance.
