CliftonStrengths for Conservation Districts
The CliftonStrengths assessment identifies an individual’s unique set of talent areas. It provides participants with an opportunity to learn about how their talents form the foundations for strengths that can contribute to success and fulfillment in all areas of life. Nearly 350 district staff have participated in the CliftonStrengths for Conservation Districts Initiative since its launch in 2022. Building for Tomorrow will continue to offer this valuable development tool to districts through April 2025. The initiative is open to all district personnel, including the individual assessment and team-building workshops for participating districts. Contact Matt Miller, Leadership Development Program Manager, at mmiller@pacd.org for more information on getting started or to schedule a workshop for your district team.
Financial and other support for the Building for Tomorrow Leadership Development Program is provided through a grant from the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission. Guidance for the Program is provided through the Pennsylvania Conservation Partnership’s Leadership Development Committee.
