ACT POST CONFERENCE EDITION
November 13, 2007
Baltimore, MD
Thanks for
making the ACT 2007 Member Rally & NeighborWoods Academy such a
success. This year, we were joined by 109 members and friends from 74
organizations and municipalities around the country. The day began with panel presentations and round table discussions about city tree campaigns, and closed with the NeighborWoods Awards Presentation by The
Home Depot Foundation.
This was an exciting year to be present as ACT’s Board
unveiled the new strategic plan and asked members to renew
their commitment to advance urban and community
forestry in partnership with ACT. In the coming weeks, you
will receive more information on how to follow through on your pledge.
As a testament to the strength of our membership, 38% of attendees at
the Partners in Community Forestry Conference were ACT members, and 41%
of all presenters were ACT members!
