NACD and NCF Release 2020 Annual Reports
The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and their sister organization, the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) have just released the 2020 NACD Annual Report and 2020 NCF Annual Report! You can access them both online by clicking their respective covers below.
The 2020 NACD Annual Report summarizes the range of organizational accomplishments through fiscal year 2020, from NACD’s successful Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, to the Summer Board Meeting that led to the development of a comprehensive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force. NACD continued their work in carrying out their mission of providing leadership and resources for conservation districts and state/territory associations everywhere. From their Technical Assistance Grant program (NACD Report, page 25) to their ever-growing Soil Health Champions Network (NACD Report, page 28), Urban Agriculture Conservation work (NACD Report, page 33) and their inaugural Friends of NACD District Grant Program (NACD Report, page 31), they moved their work forward despite the pandemic raging on across our country’s communities. They even created a COVID-19 resource webpage to help support districts support their community members.
The NCF has also worked hard to adapt its programs to continue supporting the delivery of locally-led conservation and the creation of future conservation leaders in a virtual world. From virtual NCF-Envirothon competitions (NCF Report, page 15) to virtual webinars for the Next Generation Leadership Institute (NGLI) (NCF Report, page 25), NCF has found ways to continue its mission and strengthen its brand identity in spite of the pandemic.
