Karen, our Executive Director, will be attending “Land Trust Accreditation from A to Z” and “New Legal Rules for Non-profits.”Serena and Mary, our Outreach crew, will be attending “Land Trusts 101,” and “Increasing Land Trust Relevance to Your Local Community.” Also attending will be Tony Taylor, Board President, and Stephen Ingram, member of the board. Stay tuned for a report when we return.
