The goals of the alliance are to establish a shared agenda for our environment; identify priorities for focus and action; and strengthen the capacity of the region’s environmental organizations. The Community Foundation is hosting three environmental congresses to facilitate the development of the shared agenda. The date and topics for the 3rd Congress is shown below:
Saturday, April 4, 2009, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Implementation and Beginning Projects: Which issues are most important and how do we move forward?
Participants will gain insights into best practices for implementation strategies and collaboration; partake
