Join CORFA’s next Friends SHARE Zoom call on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 4:00 pm ET to better understand the Friends Partnership Agreement (FPA) and how it shapes your Friends group’s relationship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link; please RSVP by August 24th with “Friends SHARE” in the subject line and the name of your Friends group in the email body.
In preparation for the call you might want to review your group’s FPA and bring any questions you would like to discuss; if we do not have the answers during the call, we will work to find them. The Friends Policy, Agreement, supporting materials, and FWS policies affecting Friends are in CORFA’s Resource Center.
The call will include brief insights from Friends Academy participants, time for feedback on what Friends groups need from CORFA and one another, and open discussion for questions, updates, or emerging issues.
If you have a critical issue, specific question, or topic where you are seeking expertise, please let us know as soon as possible so we can prepare and look for helpful resources.
Discussion leaders: Janelle Wicks, Executive Director of Friends of Malheur NWR, and Maria Montag, President, Board of Directors, Friends of California Condors Wild and Free.
