As we hit stride in 2023, the volunteer members comprising our governing Board of the National Environmental Banking Association are hard at work addressing issues for mitigation and conservation bankers across the U.S.
From our founding, NEBA's service to the industry is constantly guided by three organizing principles - integrity, transparency, and accountability. As the Trusted Voice of the Mitigation Banking Industry, we are responsive and member-focused.
Today, we are asking for your help. While the latest explosion of greed-induced hype around 'environmental markets' is creating lots of rumors, distractions and disinformation, NEBA continues to promote and advance real industry law, policy, practice and information - to benefit environmental bankers. For this work, we rely on your support. If you have been benefitting from NEBA's continued and solitary focus on environmental banking - but not supporting the mission - Today is the Day!
With your vital support, NEBA will continue to promote the highest professional standards and to represent the most respected businesses in the environmental banking industry. After all, as former Chairwoman Donna Collier reminded us not long ago, "Excellence is Job One"
