Sippican Lands Trust Earns National Recognition
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, announced at the Land Trust Alliance Rally on September 19th that Sippican Lands Trust has been awarded accredited status.
"Accredited land trusts meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever," said Commission Executive Director Tammara Van Ryn. "The accreditation seal lets the public know that the accredited land trust has undergone an extensive, external review of the governance and management of its organization and the systems and policies it uses to protect land."
"Sippican Lands Trust's accredited status demonstrates our commitment to permanent land conservation," says Jessica Whittaker, Executive Director. "Our land trust is a stronger organization today having gone through the rigorous accreditation program."
... "We are proud to display the accreditation seal as it demonstrates to our donors, members, and community that we take our ethical responsibility of running our land trust very seriously," said Board President Chris Bryant.
