Section Councils
The membership of the NatureServe network is divided into three sections: Canada, the United States, and Latin America. These sections are guided by Section Councils that are elected by the section membership and composed of member program directors.
The Section Councils function differently in each section, but in general they all help NatureServe achieve its mission by providing leadership to their sections.
- They represent the needs and issues of their Section in NatureServe strategic, annual, and operational planning
- They function as a communications conduit between NatureServe staff and their programs, and maintain connections among member programs
- They seek and contribute to fundraising efforts
- They nominate their section’s representative member(s) of the NatureServe Board of Directors
