IMFN 30th Anniversary Summary
IMFN 30th Anniversary Summary Report (2022)
June 12, 2022 marked the 30th anniversary of the International Model Forest Network (IMFN). This milestone anniversary provided a unique opportunity to highlight the successes that have come from within the Network over the past three decades. To celebrate the Network’s individual and shared successes of the last three decades, the IMFN Secretariat ran a multi-faceted, trilingual communications campaign from June to December 2022. You engaged with us, by sending us your stories, video messages, leadership nominees and Model Forest milestone moments that helped us tell this incredible 30-year story and made this anniversary shine. To ensure these stories, leaders and milestones live on beyond the anniversary, the IMFN Secretariat prepared this 30th Anniversary Summary Report, which was released in August 2023. Moving forward, this report will serve as a comprehensive archive of the anniversary, capturing all the activities and messages that made the anniversary a success.
