North Florida Land Trust is governed by a board of directors, who are—as in all nonprofit organizations—the fiscally and legally responsible body for the organization. The board of directors meets bi-monthly as a full group, and more frequently through committees and at events. In 2008 we also launched our Advisory Board, and are excited about this group of dynamic individuals lending us their expertise, advice, and community connections. The Advisory Board has no voting role in the organization. Are you interested in joining our governing or advisory board, or a North Florida Land Trust committee? Please, get in touch at 904-827-9870 or email info@northfloridalandtrust.org. We'd love to talk to you.
