State Councils
State Coordinator Group
This group is a forum for National Council for History Education State Coordinators and interested parties. The group was born out of the 2007 coordinators' meeting at the national conference in Williamsburg, Virginia. Members will be encouraged to ask questions, share success stories, and help fledgling state organizations. Please post contact information, event dates to the calendar, and sample documents. Membership will be limited to state coordinators, relevant NCHE members, and NCHE staff.
