Why do we do outreach?
From Jane Beitler (NSIDC), at Fall 2004 AGU

• Outreach makes connections with people, who will
  think or act differently as a result of learning
  about your work.
• Outreach can influence the future!

Why do we reach out?
Formal education represents one, but not the
only (!) means of making connections.
From Jane Beitler (NSIDC), at Fall 2004 AGU

• We reach out to make connections with people, who
  will think or act differently as a result of
  learning about our work.
• Outreach can influence the future!

Not only science people or K-12 people, but the
consuming, traveling, voting public of the next
25 years!
