NMIRA CONFERENCES

Rectangles and curves
NMIRA sponsors and supports a variety of professional development conferences state-wide, as well as regionally in collaboration with other state councils under the aegis of the International Reading Association (IRA). NMIRA conferences serve as important formal consultations, exchanges of information and sharing of matters pertaining to literacy. NMIRA conferences serve to deepen the involvement of periphery members, cement ties between core members and leadership and recruit the uninvolved in order to foster a community of literacy advocates. Conferences literally and figuratively 'bring us together' on behalf of our mission.
