Its core membership is composed by colleges and universities fromCanada, theUnited States andMexico. Since 2008, its membership has expanded to include participation of key higher education institutions from other countries.
CONAHEC fosters academic collaboration among higher educacion institutions and it has developed a successful partnership with the key national umbrella higher education organizations in theNorth American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region: theAmerican Council on Education (ACE), theAmerican Association of Community Colleges (AACC), theAssociation of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), theAssociation of Canadian Community Colleges and theAsociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior (ANUIES) from Mexico.
With more than 170 member institutions, today, CONAHEC is the largest and most comprehensive network of institutions from the NAFTA region, offering student exchanges, annual conferences, professional development programs, and direct advise to its members.
CONAHEC was founded in 1994 as the U.S.-Mexico Educational Interchange Project, co-convened by theWestern Interstate Commission for Higher Education and the Mexican Association for International Education (AMPEI).
