5. ADOPTION OF MINUTES 
5.1 Draft Executive Committee Meeting Minutes of April 15, 2026 
Two corrections in the minutes were noted: 
1. In the Staff Present section, the attendance of Islands Trust Conservancy 
Manager Wendy Tyrrell was not reflected and should be added. 
2. In section 16.4, the bullet regarding the development of a growth model 
does not clearly reflect the discussion held. It was suggested that it be 
revised to read: “Acknowledging that the Conservancy’s success is a growth 
model, and that strategies need to be developed to sustain that growth over 
time.”
