About Us
Next Generation Advisory Board
Who We Are
Founded in 2020, the Next Generation Advisory Board (NGAB) is an organized group of young adults passionate about our corner of the world and the mission of Montezuma Land Conservancy (MLC).
The NGAB was created to provide a platform for action and involve our communities’ young professionals in land conservation while helping to inform the direction of MLC.
The Next Generation Advisory Board seeks to expand the reach of MLC’s efforts by working to inspire the next generation of land stewards, hosting events that highlight the importance of conservation, and engaging our broader community in MLC’s mission. Through our efforts we hope to ensure MLC’s work continues well into the future in our ever-changing community.
As the future stewards of this beautiful landscape it is important that we have a wide variety of voices to hear from as we undertake this critical task. Some of our areas of interest are local food systems, climate solutions, and outdoor inclusivity.
