Putnam County Land Trust Seeks New Board Members

From the Putnam County Land Trust

Have you ever thought about who sets the strategic direction and oversees the policies of the Putnam County Land Trust? The trust is an all-volunteer program directed by a 15 person Board that meets eight to nine times a year to make the program and operational decisions for the organization.

The current Board has attracted a wide variety of men and women. Candidates are not required to be experts in the field but rather have an interest in land conservation and a dedication to the mission of the land trust which is “the protection of forests and wetlands, wildlife habitats and important water resources in and around Putnam County, New York.”

The trust envisions a healthy future for all, including access to safe drinking water, clean air and opportunities to engage with nature and one another. It calls for a future where the benefits of land conservation are valued as an important part of our communities and our land is permanently protected for future generations.

In addition to preparing for and attending board meetings, trustees are encouraged to serve on one of the board committees. There is always something to be done and as a Trustee, you will be making a major contribution to our community. Currently there are one, two and three year terms available.

If you are interested in being considered as a Trustee for the organization, please contact Nicholas Constantakis at Nicholas.Constantakis@pclt.net. He will be able to forward the application and answer any questions you may have.

We are seeking to have all completed applications by July 05, 2019. But we will still consider applications received thereafter as recruiting board members is an ongoing activity.
