The Land Trust Alliance and the Connecticut Land Conservation Council are partnering to offer a three-part series exploring strategies and tactics for organizational development and leadership. This series is designed for small land trusts in the Farmington River Valley area. Your land trust is being invited specifically to participate in this program.
Each workshop will feature a presentation as well as guided paired, small and large group discussions designed to support each land trust’s self-assessment and self-determined opportunities and action steps.
Oct. 15, 6-7:30 p.m. Eastern
This session will explore nonprofit life cycles; defining what effective board leadership looks like for each organizational life stage, clarifying governing versus managing roles and exploring organizational principles around defining and stewarding roles for structural adaptation and growth over time.
Oct. 29, 6-7:30 p.m. Eastern
The goal of this session is to explore the importance of board-approved strategic and operational goals for your land trust and identify how success will be measured.
Nov. 12, 6-7:30 p.m. Eastern
This session will focus on recruiting the right board members and other volunteers for the roles the organization needs. We’ll also discuss hiring staff or contractors to maximize impact and explore other collaborative approaches to capacity needs.
The true cost of this training is over $375 per organization, but thanks to generous funding from the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation, we can provide this training for $25 per organization. Instructions for Registering: Bring your whole board! You only need to register one person from your organization. When registering, please use the “add guest” option to input other participants from your organization or send a list of names and emails to Mariah at mfogg@lta.org
