Strengthening Land Trusts. Advancing Land Conservation.

Attending Rally in Cleveland this year? Anyone with Massachusetts connections is invited to join our traditional Massachusetts State Gathering. This year we're opting for an informal get-together, where drinks, appetizers and small plates will be available a la carte on separate bills in a section of the hotel's Great Room. Ask the host to point you to the Massachusetts gathering. The venue is right by the conference center, so stop by for a drink or more and say hello.

Open to anyone with development responsibilities, this quarter's call will focus on building business partnership programs and how to engage businesses in sponsorships. Join us to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other. Newcomers welcome. Part of MLTC's Stronger Together networking program. The call will not be recorded.

Land Protection and Stewardship functions overlap in certain aspects. This quarter's call will offer a forum for both roles to ask questions, voice concerns, and offer insights as to how to work together more efficiently. The focus topic will be: "Communication and coordination between Land Protection and Stewardship functions in the course of land protection projects". Anyone is welcome to attend who holds these positions or oversees them. Part of MLTC's Stronger Together networking program. This call will not be recorded.

Land trust staff and board members as well as conservation partners are welcome to this quarterly meeting, featuring relevant news from state agencies, a timely update on state and federal policy matters, announcements, and a featured topic. September's topic will be: "plans for a 2026 Ballot Campaign to establish a dedicated funding stream for land conservation". These meetings are convened by MLTC's Partner Engagement Committee: Kathy Orlando, Chair, Olivia Lukacic, Vice-Chair. A detailed agenda will be sent in advance to all registrants.
