This past January Gathering Waters Conservancy launched Wisconsin’s Land Trust Excellence and Advancement Program (LEAP), a three-year program to deliver focused and enhanced services to Wisconsin’s land trusts. LEAP offers customized services to land trusts through an application process, as well as universal services to all land trusts.
Earlier this month we began accepting applications for the second round of LEAP customized services. There’s still time between now and December 2nd for Wisconsin land trusts to submit an application to receive these tailored, one-on-one services.
As the applications come in, we’re also focusing on new universally available services to land trusts in the coming year. In the next week there are two especially terrific trainings that still have openings:
Friday, December 2nd at 11 a.m.
Ask An Expert Call: Is it Fund-raising or Not? Making Sense of Fund-raising Expenses
To register, please e-mail your organization’s name, participant names, and e-mail addresses today.
Wednesday, December 7th at 10 a.m.
LEAP Webinar: Succession Planning for your Land Trust
Come spend your lunchtime with national non-profit expert Andy Robinson. This 90 minute webinar is appropriate for all levels of knowledge and would be useful for board members, executive directors or operational directors. Because of the generous support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation through LEAP, this webinar is being offered at the discounted rate of $25 per connection to our members. Register by December 6th.
As we move to 2012, we want to be sure LEAP offers the right services at the right time to Wisconsin’s land trusts and are interested in talking with you about how to do this successfully. Please contact Kate Zurlo-Cuva to talk more about how GWC can develop our programming to best meet your organization’s needs.
