    Strategic Planning for Small Organizations Short Course

    Three consecutive Thursdays October 15, 22 and 29 via Zoom

    This three-part series, co-hosted with the Land Trust Alliance, is designed for small land trusts interested in understanding the value of strategic planning and how to approach it effectively. Through an interactive, hands-on format, participants will explore key concepts and practical exercises that can be applied directly within their own organizations. Tailored to the unique needs of small land trusts, this course equips both board members and staff with tools to develop a thoughtful strategic planning process, whether or not they engage an outside facilitator for assistance.   One registration covers all participants within your organization for all three weeks. Cost: $50 for members of either MLTC or LTA, $75 non-members.
