They understand the need to coach and mentor staff, to adhere to board terms and term limits and to celebrate the work accomplished! SUCCESSion planning covers the three types of succession plans that an organization needs to have in its toolbox. Whether you’re a new staffer, a seasoned board member, or the group’s founding director, you’ll come away with the resources to begin creating SUCCCESSion plans for your nonprofit.”
WHAT: The role of WSGS in Wyoming’s subsurface natural resources
WHEN: Tuesday, April 18, 6pm
WHERE: Teton County Library, Ordway Auditorium
Tom Drean, Director & State Geologist, Wyoming State Geological Survey, will lead the discussion.
“Until recently, more than 70% of Wyoming’s state revenue came from the production and sale of mineral resources. Wyoming produces more than 1/3 of all the energy produced in America. Why is this? Of course, it is the geology! Wyoming’s incredible landscape provides beautiful vistas, but it also traps in the subsurface natural resources including coal, oil, natural gas, helium, uranium, trona, and rare earths. Other Wyoming natural resources include paleontological treasures (dinosaurs and more) which grace major museums all over the world.”
WHAT: Two grizzly bear films
WHEN: Wednesday, April 19, 7pm
WHERE: National Museum of Wildlife Art
Wyoming Wildlife Advocates is pleased to offer a free screening of the new film, “Trophy.” The film focuses on the harmful effects of trophy hunting grizzly bears on British Columbia. Grizzlies of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem soon could lose protections under the Endangered Species Act, and turned over to state control. Wyoming, Montana and Idaho have indicated they plan to allow them to be hunted once under state management.
“Trophy” will be followed by another short film, “Keep Grizzlies Protected,” in which scientists speak out against removing ESA protections for the bears.
This event also is sponsored by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club and Western Watersheds Project.
