Current priorities

Panelists at Intertwine Summit 2019. The most recent Summit was in fall 2021, and the next one will be in spring 2023. We are looking forward to it!

In June 2021, The Intertwine Alliance adopted a co-director model. Shared leadership helps teams and organizations function more collaboratively, inclusively and relationally. By moving to this model, The Intertwine Alliance committed to a continual examination of our practices and power dynamics, with the intent to shift white dominant culture practices that serve some but not all of our communities. 

Guided by our 2019-2024 strategic plan, and with much thought given to staff capacity, we've set the following priorities for the next 12 months (July 2022 to June 2023):

  • Intertwine Summit, in spring 2023, designed by a committee of Intertwine Alliance partners  

  • Continuation and expansion of the Intertwine Alliance Equity & Inclusion Cohorts 

  • Political advocacy and regional convening to continue developing a cohesive regional identity, equitable investment strategies, and to increase equitable access to nature

How does this sound to you? Please reach out to Co-Directors Sandra Yokley at sandra@theintertwine.org and Tara Wilkinson at tara@theintertwine.org any time. If it's helpful, you can see the areas that Tara and Sandra take lead on here. 

The Intertwine Alliance is committed to this central principle: that nature is medicine, and that an equitable system of​ ​trails, parks and natural areas is critical for the health of our communities.
