Our entire constituency benefits from my NAEA membership; staff, board, and community partners are all kept abreast of relevant abstinence education information. More importantly, the NAEA is committed to the healthiest choice of sex education for our Nation's youth.

It is with great appreciation and thankfulness for the work of NAEA that I wholeheartedly endorse this Association. The membership fees are nominal for the quality of representation, educational opportunities, and support the NAEA provides; the professionalism, diligence, and scope of services rendered are truly remarkable! The NAEA promotes camaraderie among organizations continually keeping the mission of building healthy teens at the forefront of the Association. The conferences are informative, provide wonderful networking opportunities, and give utmost attention to strategic planning assistance for both national and local opportunities. Thank you for your tremendous service to organizations committed to building teen assets. Having worked in prevention and intervention programs with teens for fifteen years, I truly believe that the dividends on our small investment to be members of the NAEA are beyond measure. An NAEA membership is truly money well spent! Your fortitude and accuracy are a wonderful representation of abstinence education and each individual organization in the Association. I am honored that you represent our organization!

My personal and sincere thanks for ALL you have done in such a short time to help everyone around the country who cares about abstinence education. We have long needed the strategic and proactive research and reports you are spearheading… We can take the Zogby Poll and the "From the Source" report to local school districts and state legislators and give them the information they need to understand AUM (Abstinence Until Marriage)... Congratulations on a job well done!
- Abstinence Supporter, Arizona
I would like to say thanks for all that the NAEA has done...by offering the lobbying expertise so frequently needed by nonprofit organizations... My small organization needs someone with the knowledge and diversity of a national group to support us... The thing I appreciate the most is the rapid response to negative attacks, so we can respond locally to our area newspapers and supporters in our communities... Thanks again for having the vision to start an organization such as this.

NAEA has been an excellent source of information around abstinence issues, particularly funding issues. All of the alerts have been immediate (things have been changing moment-to-moment!) and most importantly, accurate!... The website has also been extremely useful. Having scientific data, funding updates and talking points, etc. in one place is invaluable! Just wanted you to know that I truly appreciate the efforts NAEA has done on behalf of abstinence education. I look forward to the next conference call!
- Abstinence Project Coordinator, West Virginia
Thank you very much for the information and the inspiration... We’ve known for a long time that we should establish relationships with our legislators but haven’t had the time or the knowledge about where to begin. We’ve appreciated the direction and the information you’ve provided.
- Abstinence Education Provider, Oregon
Thank you so much! Your information has really been helpful! We plan on taking full advantage of all your resources.
- Abstinence Education Provider, Illinois
Thank you so much for sending the NAEA packets! They look great and will be a wonderful tool in our local campaign to continue abstinence-only education... We’ll be supplementing your information with local data and statistics which demonstrate our specific local impact — should be quite a compelling package, thanks to your support and assistance!

While programs like ours are on the front lines, communicating the abstinence message to our teens, the NAEA is ensuring that federal funding for this worthwhile cause continues. I thank NAEA for providing accurate and up-to-date information on the status of legislation affecting abstinence education.

Very nice job on the new NAEA folder and contents! I love the way NAEA has netted out a lot of the studies and built a strong case for abstinence education. Thank you again for your great work!
- Abstinence Education Provider, Texas
We are so grateful for all your hard work and for all your good direction in how we might go about working with our legislators! (We're mostly program people and therefore are mostly clueless about the political process!)
