Over the past 20 years, DES has developed informal partnerships with more than 200 different non-profits, trade associations, educational institutions and governmental organizations. The collective work of these organizations has been invaluable to DES, allowing us to increase our effectiveness and efficiency in accomplishing our mission.
In order to bring greater recognition and structure to these relationships, DES has initiated a Partners Program to help us build on those partnerships and enable us to better align our joint efforts in support of DES's goals and the goals of our partner organizations. The Partners' Program will help to raise environmental awareness through a strengthening of the Department's current relationships with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), trade associations, industry, business and other organizations in New Hampshire, as well as the development of new collaborative relationships.
Each Partnership Agreement includes a work plan developed by DES and the partner that includes the specific areas of cooperation for the ensuing two to three years. The tasks are nonbinding and voluntary, and can be revised at any time by agreement of both parties. Our Partnership Agreements will result in enhanced communication between DES and our partners, ultimately resulting in improved environmental protection.
