Betsy, et al:
In case the Missouri address turns out not to be what you are looking
for, there is another "National Association for Interpretation" in the
United States (in fact, I never heard of the one in MO). It is a
professional organization of natural and cultural heritage interpreters
in the US and includes members in Canada and other nations.
This NAI is located at:
528 S. Howes Street
(P. O. Box 1892)
Fort Collins, CO 80521
USA
Phone: (970) 484-8283
FAX: (970)484-8179
Publications include NAI News, Legacy, The Journal of Interpretation
and newsletters published by each of the ten geographic regions.
In addition, there are a number of interest sections:
African American Experience
Council for American Indian Interpretation
Cultural Interpretation and Living History
Nature Center Directors/Administrators
Resource Interpretation - Heritage Tourism
Visual Communications
Zoo, Wildlife Parks and Aquaria

NAI is not itself a site-managing entity, which may explain its
absence from the AAM Directory. Nonetheless, many museum folk
are in the ranks of the membership and more would be welcome...
we have a lot in common.
I hope this is helpful in terms of your original query.
