The CFA Business Planning
Committee
The Business Planning Committee
was recently created for CFA members to share experiences with applying business
and financial planning tools to protected areas management, biodiversity
conservation and sustainable development activities. One of several CFA working
groups on topics of interest to CFA members, the Business Planning Committee
will be responsible for updating the business planning chapter of the CFA's
Conservation
Finance Guide based on field-testing of the guide and practical experiences
of CFA members.
For further information about
the CFA Business Planning Committee, please contact Scott Edwards at:
sedwards@npca.org.
Upcoming Meetings
Meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of each month
at 3 p.m. at the National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA) offices in
Washington, D.C.
