Alaska Brief Newsletter – May 2016

Dear Supporter:

Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to our strategic planning process by either taking a survey or being interviewed. Thanks to you, we have gained a tremendous amount of information about why Trustees is important to you, what is important about our work, and what we should be thinking about as we move into the next three years.

We learned (but kind of already knew) that You deeply care about Alaska and its future. You believe the greatest conservation issues facing Alaska are climate change, loss of salmon habitat and loss of wilderness. You believe Trustees’ most important work is litigation. And you believe Trustees’ greatest strength is our people.

We are so touched by your high regard for Trustees!

Here are two of your comments that mean a lot to us:

“Trustees is by far the single most effective conservation group in the state of Alaska. I have huge respect for your work ethic and expertise.”

“Trustees provides a critical service to Alaska and is a key partner to many groups/issues I care about. I believe my donations make a difference to your ability to do your work and achieve wins for Alaska.”

I feel very lucky to be a part of Trustees for Alaska. It is an honor to serve you to protect and defend Alaska’s lands, waters, wildlife, and people, now and in to the future.

Sincerely,

Vicki Clark small headshot
