Thanks everyone for the replies (both on and off list) - we've had a great response which is a wonderful reminder of the generosity of this community. As a review, we are particularly interested in identifying professional associations that have engaged their members in education and contribution to any Wikipedia projects.
We are NOT limiting our search to U.S. and Canada, (or to academic/educational organizations) but hope to find out more about ANY professional organization doing this type of work (or that has previously done it). One our first goals is simple - to establish a database of these organizations, with corresponding information (e.g. name of association, types of activities they have engaged in related to Wikimedia, any web presence establishing their work, contact person etc.). To that end, we are sharing the following google spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EX_5ewEKBi40xtef8fQS0BitfrVt09DCotTipfau5Qg/edit?usp=sharing [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/docs/ADP-6oE7hvzd4UPIfRTyxCg0WW9RJQf5seuaiuS1OcAEhdWTPSmSvlWxErtJCaR9_RP_b17Jh9RfkPxqEThpgzHuhel1N2_TDD2d4mswyt3BLoM=w1200-h630-p]<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EX_5ewEKBi40xtef8fQS0BitfrVt09DCotTipfau5Qg/edit?usp=sharing> Professional orgs and Wikimedia<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EX_5ewEKBi40xtef8fQS0BitfrVt09DCotTipfau5Qg/edit?usp=sharing> Sheet1 Organization or Association Name,Wiki Activities,Website,Contact,Other notes ,Still active?
