Why New England Educational Research Organization?

Connect. Learn. Grow.

For over 50 years New England Educational Research Organization has been supporting educational research. As an all-volunteer organization, NEERO's annual conference and other events would not be possible without the dedication and time of all our members.

Message from the President: Sarah Enterline Roch

Sarah Bio Picture.png

NEERO is committed to understanding and strengthening our knowledge of our global community. We continue to navigate the global pandemic, climate change, changes to K-12 and post-secondary education, and strengthen our commitment to racial justice, inclusivity, and equity. We maintain three priorities for the coming year: 

  • Planning the NEERO 2024 conference

  • Expanding the NEERO community

  • Increasing engagement within the NEERO community

We are actively planning engagements for the coming year via our Circles Committee and our Graduate Student Committee. And, we are preparing for the NEERO 2023 conference, which will be held at the Portsmouth Sheraton Harborside Hotel from April 26 - 26, 2023. We welcome feedback, questions, and ideas from all members of the NEERO community, and we hope to see you at an event this year and at the NEERO 2024 conference.

​


Sincerely, 

Sarah Enterline Roch

NEERO President (2022 - 2024)
