Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy Board of Directors

Serving on the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy’s Board of Directors means much more than attending meetings a few times a year. Board members created the Conservancy, nursed it through its infancy, helped it grow, put up with the "teenager" organization, and now govern its evolving programs and work today. Many of our devoted volunteer Directors give hundreds of hours of their time, lend their considerable life experience to our efforts, and dedicate their contributions to the Conservancy. We can’t thank them enough!
