Description

The National Association for Interpretation (NAI) was formed in 1988 from two existing organizations the Association of Interpretive Naturalists (AIN) and the Western Interpreters' Association (WIA). AIN was created in 1954 and WIA in 1965 to provide training and networking opportunities for interpreters of natural and cultural history in nonformal settings (parks, zoos, nature centers, museums, and aquaria). From 1954 to 1988, the Association of Interpretive Naturalists and Western Interpreters Association operated as two separate professional organizations with offices in Needwood, Maryland, and Sacramento, California, respectively. After merging to form NAI in 1988, a partnership was created with Colorado State University's Department of Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism. CSU students work in the National Office as interns and work-study employees.
