Meeting Information

The Chesapeake Bay Funders Network (CBFN) meets as a whole three times annually and hosts an Annual Retreat, typically in the fall.  Workgroup meetings for Agriculture, Capacity Building, and Land Use meet regularly according to their respective goals and activity schedules.  (For more information on workgroup meetings, please see the CBFN Initiatives page.)
