Leadership Development Updates
Reminder: Project Management Training Video & Survey
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the December Foundations of Project Management webinar. Video is available for review and sharing with colleagues who may have missed the presentation, and all district staff are encouraged to complete a Project Management Training Survey to help guide development for future project management offerings.
Coming Soon: the 6th Annual Conservation District Video Awards
For six years, we’ve asked districts to share their video content so we can come together to celebrate their hard work, learn about their process, and recognize their excellence. The quality of submissions has increased every year, and the eleven entries for 2025 continue that trend. Mark your calendars and plan to join us on February 12 at 12pm as we screen the best of district-produced video and award the coveted CONDIVA trophy.
Register Now for February Webinars
We’ve teamed up with Piper Strategies this year to offer a pair of webinars to help district staff develop skills and strategies to more effectively promote their districts through online and traditional media. On February 18, From Message to Media: Amplifying Impact Through Local Outreach will present basic media relations concepts with a tactical focus on working with local broadcast and print outlets to help promote and build awareness for your district’s work and mission.
The February 25 webinar, Smarter Social Media: Campaigns, Curation, and Content will present a concise, practical overview of effective social media campaign strategies, the role of content curation in strengthening credibility, and the responsible use of AI tools to enhance content development.
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.
