<< Back: Governance of The Nature Conservancy

Governance Advisory Panel

The Nature Conservancy enlisted a panel of independent, outside experts to make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding standards of best practices for governance in an innovative and highly decentralized global nonprofit organization.

Since the Governance Advisory Panel released its final report in March 2004, the Conservancy has implemented virtually all of the recommendations contained in the report.
