Friends of Hartman Reserve

The Friends of Hartman Reserve was established in 1986.   Over the years, the Friends of Hartman raised money to support Hartman Reserve.  The Friends of Hartman established an endowment fund through the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa to provide support programs and the facilities at Hartman Reserve Nature Center well into the future.  The Friends were an integral part of the planning and construction of the East Wing of the Hartman Reserve Nature Center (debuting in February 2018), and have volunteered countless hours in supporting the programs and events at HRNC Center. 

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Friends of Hartman Reserve is limited to 23 members at most. The Board currently meets the second Tuesday of the month at Hartman Reserve Nature Center.

Terms

Directors serve three-year terms, which are staggered to provide for both continuity of leadership as well as a constant flow of new ideas and energy. Youth board members serve yearly terms, but are able to serve more than one year.

Board Make-Up

The Friends of Hartman is committed to a board that looks like our community by way of gender balance and diversity; geographical representation; a balance of business, education, and non-profit experience; expertise in grant writing, event planning, membership development; and a general interest in preserving Hartman Reserve Nature Center.
