FFC BOARD RELEASES NEW STRATEGIC PLAN 2011-2014

Filmmakers for Conservation (FFC) is an internationally recognized voice for publicizing conservation issues and supporting sustainability in filmmaking and conservation filmmakers.

After 11 years of successful operation, the FFC Board wishes to provide improved services to members and is aware of the need to adapt to environmental, economic, social and technological changes.

Over the last year, FFC has diversified its Board membership and has assessed its operations and set foundations for the future.

The FFC Board is pleased to release its new FFC Strategic Plan 2011-2014, which will guide improved performance and tangible outcomes for members.

Key Elements of the new Strategic Plan include:

• 1. FFC to be a world-leading centre for excellence in conservation media and a global community for those using film and media to communicate the importance of conserving the natural world, peoples and cultures.
  
  
• 2. The Strategic Plan from 2011-2014 includes developing a business plan, a financial plan, a communications strategy and organizational management plans.
  
  
• 3. It also includes a fundraising strategy with an objective to improve support for conservation filmmaking into the future.
  
  
• 4. Funds received by FFC will serve the following key purposes:
  
  
  • 1. To service organizational administration and running costs currently partially covered by existing funds from membership/corporate annual fees.
    
  • 2. Creation of a part-time operational position (2 days per week) with budget and deliverables to meet the Strategic Plan objectives.
    
  • 3. Develop and implement a micro-grants and awards program to support FFC members and conservation filmmaking.
    

Board Members will be present at the Jackson Hole Film Festival, October 2011 in the US where the Board will hold its Annual General Meeting and welcome questions from members regarding the new Strategic Plan and other FFC matters.
