PACD Boasts Progress, Success in Mid-Year Report
In its Annual Mid-Year Report, the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts outlines the steps and process it has undertaken to promote and support its 66 county conservation district membership. From increased public outreach and education to new policy and program initiatives, the Mid-Year Report allows the public and membership to carefully review the benchmarks and successes of the organization during the past six months.
“Keeping our membership and the public informed about our progress, successes and future direction is paramount to keeping the lines of communication open,” said Robert B. Maiden, Executive Director for PACD. “Our Association works hard to support and enhance the activities, programs and initiatives of each of the county conservation districts and this report is a snap-shot of those accomplishments. While our work in this arena is never complete, it allows the membership to review the Association’s role in supporting their efforts from here in Harrisburg.”
In an effort to further support the state’s conservation districts, the report outlines a number of areas where the Association has focused its efforts to better position itself to provide new and additional resources to the districts including: Education and Public Outreach; Training; Government Relations and Policy; Engineering Assistance Program; and Management Services. These areas work in tandem to bring additional exposure to our Association and the districts, allowing public officials, citizens, and community organizations to realize the tremendous resource that the districts are and the important role they play in protecting Pennsylvania’s environment.
