Looking for More Resources?
ETC members receive access to a growing library of specialized resources developed specifically for the educational and affinity travel sector. Resources include webinar recordings on program management and risk considerations, alumni travel planning guides, frameworks, benchmarking reports, conference keynote recordings, and practical tools shared by experienced professionals across the ETC community.
Unlike general travel industry content, these resources are designed for the realities of institution-based travel programs at universities, museums, alumni associations, zoos, conservation organizations, and nonprofit institutions. Whether you are launching a new program or managing an established portfolio, the ETC Resource Library is built to support the unique operational and strategic needs of educational travel professionals.
“ETC is my continuing education – how I develop my career path. The quality of
speakers helps me grow and it is my access to the world of travel beyond alumni networks.
I consider ETC as an essential part of my annual professional development goals and include it yearly in my performance reviews and goal setting. IUAA encourages and supports its professional staff to seek out ongoing professional development. IUAA’s leadership values my involvement with ETC.”
