A sneak peek of Mount Grace’s Strategic Plan
After months of planning, meeting and envisioning our goals as a leader in conservation, Mount Grace has created a strategic plan that will guide our organization over the next three years.
We can’t share the full details of this plan just yet (you’ll have to join us at our Annual Meeting on Sunday, October 20 for that), but we also can’t wait to share some of the exciting new changes coming to Mount Grace. So, here’s a little sneak peek:
Over the next three years, Mount Grace will be expanding our capacity. To confront the growing challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and the sustainability of farming in our region, Mount Grace will add new staff to strengthen the capability and impact of our conservation work, further embrace land justice in conservation, and better connect people to each other and the land.
Here’s what the expansion has looked like so far:
- Max Feldman, former Board President of Mount Grace, has joined our staff as Deputy Director to streamline operations and add resilience to the leadership structure.
- Caitie Dwyer-Huppert, the new Community Engagement Associate at Mount Grace, will enhance our community outreach, development, and fundraising efforts by bringing her expertise in program development to our team.
- Seth Kelley, our new Community Conservation Project Manager, will collaborate with towns and partners to identify conservation priorities within our communities and work toward protecting them.
- A Stewardship Director will be added to our team to facilitate management of an ever-growing portfolio of protected land.
This is our largest expansion since 2007, and will ensure Mount Grace can continue to take a leading role in the land conservation movement’s efforts to adapt to global change.
