For biographies go to http://www.trcp.org/about/board.html These individuals add their knowledge and wisdom to a Board that already includes leaders who have helped TRCP make tremendous strides as an organization in its first three years of existence. The TRCP Board of Directors plays a more important role for TRCP than boards typically do for non-profit organizations. The heart of TRCP’s mission is facilitating coalition work on policy issues of greatest consensus importance to the full spectrum of American sportsmen and women. The TRCP Board of Directors designates those core policy issues along with its other traditional oversight responsibilities. The TRCP Board of Directors is also particularly important to the Partnership at this time as TRCP is three years old and still in the process of refining how it can best deliver services to the hunting, fishing, and conservation community that most effectively facilitate coalition efforts. New members are for the most part filling seats recently created as part of a board expansion.For a full list of the Partnership’s Board of Directors go to http://www.trcp.org/about/board.html *** The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership is a coalition of leading conservation organizations and individual grassroots partners, working together to conserve fish and wildlife and their habitat, increase funding for conservation and management, and expand access to places to hunt and fish. |
