[Hvcatskillcewg] Next HV/Catskill Conservation Easement Working Group Meeting- Potential dates!

[David Diaz]

Hello everyone,

We have two potential dates for next meeting:

February 27 (12:00- 2:30)
February 28 (12:00- 2:30)

We may run under 2 1/2 hours but we might as well make room for the time.

Please reply if either or both dates work for you (or if neither works).

The draft meeting agenda looks like this:

1.  Intro/welcome

2.  Speakers: Paul Elconin (OSI), Damon Oscarson (Westchester Land Trust),
John Middlebrooks (Rensselaer-Taconic Land Conservancy) , Maryanne
McGovern/myself (Scenic Hudson) will talk about:

-their individual organizations (what org does, structure, history)
-where they are in the accreditation process
-how their organization approached accreditation (dedication of
volunteers/staff/funding , how accreditation was prioritized)
-how the process actually helped their organization, types of things they
are greatly improved upon as a result
-Perhaps a quick show and tell of binder  (here's our binder), 
-one speaker could explain the binder concept in detail

3.  Then all the speakers can sit on a panel and answer questions from the
group.  Speakers could also share words of wisdom, suggestions, pitfalls,
what happens after you submit materials, etc.

4.  Allow attendees time to look at binders, checklist, etc and ask more
questions informally.

Other speakers may be added

Very big thanks to all those who have voluteered their time to share their
accreditation experiences at this meeting!
