The Public Lands Alliance (PLA) is looking for enriching and enlightening session proposals that will help attendees achieve new levels of excellence in serving and supporting public lands across America.
Our program committee seeks proposals that respond to contemporary opportunities and challenges on public lands. We especially seek proposals that incorporate elements of PLA's effective partnership tenets and further the conversation of effective public lands partnerships.
Proposals are due Sunday, July 8, 2018. Download a sample proposal form.
Consider connecting your content with one of these areas in order to illuminate effective partnership tenets:
-
Leverage: Illustrate how organizations foster success on their public lands with fewer resources.
-
Connection: Demonstrate the role of a public lands nonprofit as the connector between the lands and the community.
-
Leadership: Show how building organizational consensus around common goals helps benefit public lands.
Within these specific areas, submissions should cover topics relevant to public lands nonprofits and their agency partners, including but not limited to: advocacy; board development; cultural competency; environmental / programmatic education; field institutes and residential learning centers; fundraising and philanthropy; marketing and communications; membership recruitment and retention; nonprofit management and operations; product and program development; program evaluation and research; retail operations; sound financial practices; or, your choice of relevant topic.
Proposals are due June 29, 2018.
