Land Trust staff to serve on Accreditation Commission board

The Minnesota Land Trust is pleased to announce that our own Conservation Stewardship Director, Anne Murphy, has been named to the Land Trust Accreditation Commission Board.  Anne's first term will begin on January 1, 2012.

The Land Trust Accreditation Commission was incorporated in April 2006 as an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance to operate a land trust accreditation program to build and recognize strong land trusts, foster public confidence in land conservation and help ensure the long-term protection of land.

Anne will join fellow Minnesotan, Tom Duffus, who is the Upper Midwest Director of The Conservation Fund, in serving on the Commission board which is comprised of land conservation and nonprofit management experts from around the country.

We’re proud – but certainly not surprised – to have Anne selected to serve at the national level. It’s a great indicator of the respect that national land trust leaders have for the quality of Minnesota’s conservation community.
