| Title | NAME Oregon Chapter |
| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) Oregon Chapter Last Spring, a group of educators from around the State met to discuss the possibility of forming an Oregon chapter of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME). To date, there are 17 paid members. Twenty are required to form a chapter. NAME is committed to a philosophy of inclusion that embraces the basic tenets of cultural pluralism. NAME celebrates cultural and ethnic diversity as a national strength that enriches a society and rejects the view that diversity threatens the fabric of a society. NAME's goals are: 1) To respect and appreciate cultural diversity, 2) to promote the understanding of unique cultural and ethnic heritage, 3) to promote the development of culturally responsible and responsive curricula, 4) to facilitate acquisition of the attitudes, skills and knowledge to function in various cultures, 5) to eliminate racism and discrimination in society, 6) to achieve social, political, economic, and educational equity. There are various types of membership categories and fees. A regular membership is $75. Individual members receive a copy of NAME's publications on an ongoing basis. Membership includes state and local chapter membership, discounted registration fees at the annual conference, as well as voting privileges. For more information about NAME go to www.nameorg.org.
