Alaska Brief Newsletter – October 2016
Dear Supporter:
We ended our fiscal year at the end of September with a very busy board meeting. After a year of hard work, our Board of Directors adopted our new 2017-2020 Strategic Plan along with annual operating plans and a budget to implement our goals. The adoption of the plan included strong participation from many of you in surveys and interviews.
Thank you for your involvement in planning our future! We learned a great deal from all of you and the data we gained from the surveys and interviews helped us really focus in on our niche in the conservation community. With that, we hope to be even more effective in the years to come.
We now have the most robust plan in Trustees’ history!

For Alaska

PS: Congratulations to Trustees for Alaska’s clients, Chuitna Citizen Coalition members Larry and Judy Heilman and Ron and Bobbi Burnett, as well as the Alaska Marine Conservation Council, for their Alaska Conservation Foundation awards.
