Strategic Planning Priorities
In summer 2025, CCLC Board and Staff met to revise and update the organization’s strategic plan. The overarching goals for 2025-2029 are to:
- Increase organizational stability and impact;
- Expand and grow CBLP certification training in existing and new markets, both in and out of the Chesapeake Bay watershed;
- Increase awareness of CCLC brand and mission;
- Strengthen partnerships with relevant organizations to promote conservation landscaping and advancing CCLC’s mission.
The CCLC Board works through committees to achieve its goals and mission. The committees are:
- Executive
- Finance
- Governance
- Development
- Training and Standards (CBLP)
- Outreach
Each committee will develop Work Plans to advance specific strategies, along with the corresponding objectives, strategies, and metrics developed during the planning process, to promote and advance conservation landscaping throughout the watershed.
