The Advancing Conservancy Excellence (ACE) program is pleased to offer an exceptional online training taught by noted conservation attorney Jane Ellen Hamilton.
This in-depth training is a 4-week session on Drafting Easements for Perpetuity, and is specially modified for Michigan land conservancies and their land conservancy staff, volunteers and board members. Because it is interactive, it is applicable for all levels of experience and ACE participants are strongly encouraged to attend.
Beginning February 11, Jane Ellen, who wrote the book on drafting easements and is a well-regarded industry expert, will share best practices in drafting easements. Whether you want to learn more or make certain the easements you write will last, this course is for you.
