Story shared by Caroline Stem, Foundations of Success and CMP
In mid-May, 42 representatives from organizations, donors, and government agencies gathered in Shenandoah National Park for three intense days together during the Conservation Measures Partnership’s biennial retreat. The retreat was a fantastic opportunity to bring CMP members together to learn from one another and get energized about all the cool work members are doing across the globe. The retreat centered around five themes:
- Evidence, Decisions, and Open Standards
- Expanding Access, Use, and Reach of the Open Standards
- Scale and Complexity: Using the Open Standards in Planning and Managing Multi-project Programs or Portfolios
- Audits, Evaluations, and Learning
- Change, Organizations, and Operationalization
As usual, we had lots of great discussions and left the retreat with lots of energy. The key will be to keep that energy going as we continue to work on CMP initiatives and our projects with partners.
