PINA has grown to fulfill its founders’ expectations and more. Our diverse Board of Directors, Staff, and Membership from across North America bring a wealth of experience and dedication which is leading PINA to greater impact every year. Our ongoing creation of programs and member services will help to ensure that permaculture as a profession continues to mature.
As a board member of the Permaculture Institute of North America I am grateful to be in regular dialog with some of the finest people in the field. Their dedication to finding creative solutions to the dilemma of our human relation to our home planet brings hope in bleak times.
I applied for a Diploma because I was qualified many times over, and the board made it simple for experienced permaculture designers and educators with an established reputation to obtain a diploma. So I decided to take advantage of that opportunity. One benefit is that I can add the PINA logo to my certificates and course advertising to indicate they are nationally recognized by my peers for quality.
For people interested in going the professional route, I think PINA is a tremendous support system.
