Volunteer as a Commissioner
Have you ever thought about serving as a member of the Land Trust Accreditation Commission or do you know someone who you think would be a good commissioner? Serving on the Commission is a great opportunity to work with a dedicated group of volunteer conservation leaders from around the country and be part of a national program that fosters excellence, trust and permanence in land conservation.
If you or someone you know is interested, please look at the commissioner job description. Commissioners volunteer approximately 2-3 days a month reviewing applications and governing the organization.
Interested individuals should submit a summary of their qualifications by completing the Commissioner Candidate Questionnaire. Please note, that the questionnaire must be completed in one sitting, it is not possible to save answers as you go. See an example of the candidate questions.
Commissioners commit to serve a three-year term. If you would like to learn more about service as a commissioner, contact Commission Executive Director Melissa Kalvestrand at 518-587-3143 or

"My work with the Commission has given me a few glimpses into some truly remarkable land trusts who are working with the social service and health care sectors to enhance opportunities for more local food security, equitable and universal access to natural and recreation areas, and to promote a vision of healthy communities on healthy lands."
– Michael Pope, Land Trust Accreditation Commissioner
