<div class="pull-quote"><img src="http://www.landtrustalliance.org/images/training/head%20shot.jpg" alt="Sandra Greenway" class="image-left" title="Sandra Greenway" />"Marc Smiley talks about the 'audacity of perpetuity' that each land trust must face as we endeavor to meet the conservation and/preservation needs of the land entrusted to us. With a diverse background in non-profit management that ranges from Shakespeare festivals to battered women shelters, my land trust toolkit was a little light. Thanks to the Land Trust Alliance and its excellent training programs, I was able to gain knowledge about this type of non-profit quickly from the most respected sources in the industry.  <br /><br />With tools from the Alliance, I completely understand the 'audacity of perpetuity' and I know what steps the Connemara Conservancy Foundation needs to take in order to fulfill our promise to Texas landowners. I wish other areas of the non-profit industry had something as meaningful, appropriate and thorough as the training programs provided by the Land Trust Alliance."<br /><br /><span style="float: right; ">— Sandra Greenway, Executive Director, Connemara Conservancy Foundation</span><br /><br /></div>
