Special Interest Groups (SIGs) provide ADEE members and annual meeting delegates with a valuable opportunity to share and explore particular areas of focus and interest. SIGs have evolved into a core element of the annual meeting and have grown in number and attendance in recent years.
Each Special Interest Group has a designated chair or chairs, pre agreed aims and objectives and a defined lifetime. In 2014 a new initiative saw the Special Interest Group chairs meet formally with the ADEE executive as a core ADEE stakeholder group so as to evolve the work of the Special Interest Groups.
Members have expressed the desire that the work of the Special Interest Groups be made more widely available and disseminated. In addition they wished the work of the SIG to be enabled and continued in between meetings through the creation of a Special Interest Groups webpage and in some case an online discussion forum.
