STRATEGIC PLAN
Announcing the launch of ACT's New Strategic Plan!
On November 13th, we'll provide highlights from ACT's new strategic plan - a plan which includes you. Throughout
the day, you'll meet ACT's board members and learn about how you can
take part in united action and advocacy to promote the essential value
of trees. Collectively, ACT members have already planted 7.8 million
trees and mobilized 450,000 volunteers - just think what we can do
working together to communicate, collaborate, and mobilize our resources.

PLAN FOR THE MEETING
Here's how to prepare:
* Bring materials from your organization to trade and share
* Bring a copy of ACT's new strategic plan to read on the plane
* Read the agenda and think about your questions and ideas for discussion- ACT meetings are very interactive.
At ACT meetings, we like to share lots of information about what all of
us are doing at home. Plan to bring copies of your brochures, great
ideas, recent publications or successful educational materials,
fundraising examples, or anything else that you think other community
groups would be interested in seeing. We expect 100+ participants.

Planning assistance was also provided in part by the USDA Forest
Service, who is a partner to the Alliance for Community Trees and our
member organizations in so many ways. We thank the men and women of the
agency for their dedication, which helps us be better practitioners and
more knowledgeable advocates for trees in our cities.
Collaboration with the National Arbor Day Foundation's Partners in
Community Forestry National Conference is also helping ACT expand our
impact. Look for ACT members on the conference program! |
