We are holding a handful of open meetings over the course of two months for SFEC members to discuss educational content needs. In each hour-long meeting we will focus on a different content theme of our ongoing needs assessment, briefly going over our needs assessment results so far before opening the floor to gather ideas related to content and event formats from attendees. The meeting themes and times for the whole series are below:
- Silviculture: Thursday February 29th, 1-2pm
- Timber Goals and FMGs: Friday March 8th, 1-2pm
- Forest Carbon: Tuesday March 12th, 10-11am
- Forest-dependent Wildlife: Friday March 15th, 1-2pm
- Climate Adaptation: Tuesday April 16th, 9-10am
- Forest Health: Thursday April 18th, 1-2pm
- Human Dimensions and Economics: Wednesday April 24th, 10-11am
This April 24th meeting is for the Economics, Policy, and Human Dimensions theme. Within this broad theme we used a survey to gauge interest in such topics as...
- Conflict management and resolution
- Leadership development
- Timber and wood products markets
- Financial analysis of forestry investments
- Updates on natural resource law and policy changes
All SFEC members are welcome; please register for as many listening sessions as you are willing. We're hoping to have a robust discussion to help us put a finer point on our broader survey results and better define SFEC's direction over the next several years as it relates to the custom professional development content we provide to our members.
