About PA Leadership Development Program
Since 1986, the “Building for Tomorrow” Leadership Development Program has been working to develop tools and training products aimed at enhancing the leadership and professional development of Pennsylvania’s conservation districts.
Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Conservation Partnership, the “Building For Tomorrow” Leadership Development Committee includes: conservation district directors; conservation district managers; the State Conservation Commission; the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts; the Department of Environmental Protection; the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture; the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; Penn State Cooperative Extension; and the DEP Conservation District Field Representatives. The Committee evaluates the leadership and professional development training needs of conservation districts; looks for funding and training opportunities; develops products and tools for use by conservation district directors and staff; and offers statewide, regional and local training and consultative assistance.
