Preview of Coming Webinars
by Cheryl Hart, CORFA Board VP, NWRA Board, Friends of Tualatin River NWRC President
Here’s a quick look at what we have planned for upcoming webinars in the next few months. Check the CORFA Facebook Group and the announcements on the front page of the CORFA website for exact dates and times.
Our April webinar was on insurance needs for Friends groups. If you were unable to attend, you will find a recording in our Resource Center .
The President’s budget has been released. Find out what is being requested for refuges. What are top priorities for the USFWS? We have invited Cynthia Martinez, Chief of the National Refuge System, and Shaun Sanchez, Deputy Chief, to join Caroline Brouwer, VP of Government Affairs for NWRA, for this discussion.
As Visitor Centers and activities at refuges begin to reopen, has your Friends group successfully rebooted? What has gone well? What creative solutions have you found? What advice could other Friends groups offer to help you through the transition? Time for another Kaffeeklatsch so Friends can help Friends find solutions!
How do you market your Friends group? Join us for a panel discussion on successful marketing campaigns for Friends.
The USFWS Friends Mentoring Program is B-A-C-K. Find out more about this program and how your Friends group can apply to participate.
As always, we try to present webinars that meet your needs. If you have a suggestion or are seeking answers that you think might also benefit other Friends groups, send your suggestions to CORFA. We want our webinars to be valuable and targeted to your needs.
As you can see, we want to include you, yes, YOU in these webinars. One of the best things about Friends is their willingness to share their ideas and help other groups succeed, and we’d like to take advantage of that characteristic. If you want to share your experiences, please contact us.
