  2. Mission Statement NAIMES is a member-driven organization which advocates for the military student and partners with the military education community for the betterment of off-duty Voluntary Education programs. As a force for academic quality and continued improvement, and as a military student advocate (to include veterans, family members and DoD Civilians), NAIMES members promote best practices, provide a perspective of a diverse higher learning community, and will take positions that reflect the collective will of the membership.

  3. History • Founded on 26 March 1975 in Los Angeles by seven institutions. • Of immediate and continuing concern was the desire to meet and exceed quality standards established by the military services. • From its beginnings, NAIMES sought to provide a collective voice for the institutions to assist the DOD’s established regulations for the Voluntary Education Programs. • Membership has grown over the years to 22 institutions today. • Membership reflects a balance of 2-year, 4-year, public, private, for profit, and online institutions.
