Growing, Strengthening and Increasing the Impact of ATFS

Webinar: Continuing to Work with you to Strengthen, Grow and Increase the Impact of ATFS

August 28, 2018 at 9:34 AM by certification

Earlier this year, AFF began a program-wide assessment of the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) in conjunction with the Center for Nonprofit Strategies (CNPS) to understand the challenges facing ATFS and to develop a viable path forward that serves the diverse programs across the network. The results of that assessment were announced in a memo sent last week.

As a follow up, Chris Erwin and I have recorded a ten-minute presentation to further illustrate the framework of recommendations that we believe will strengthen, grow, and increase the future impact of ATFS based on what you, and others in the network, have told us and CNPS. We hope that this presentation will bring further understanding so that you may share your thoughts in return.

This is important work, and we won’t be successful without your input. Once you have had a chance to review the recommendations, please provide feedback by filling out this survey and/or contacting Sara Anrrich to schedule your state's conference call with representatives from CNPS. Call times are still available August 28-31, as well as September 4-5. We would like discuss your questions, concerns and ideas as we move forward developing an implementation plan together. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
 
Best,
Paul DeLong
