The outside view
The national accrediting and credentialing body for the forestry profession, keeper of the Certified Forester standard and the education requirements behind it
- Authority
- Build
- Outward
- Operational
Their shape
The Citadel
Led from the center, built to endure.
The Citadel runs on clarity and decisiveness, its direction held by a strong center the whole organization moves behind. Its gift is speed and coherence, its challenge is leaning too heavily on the few at the middle.
Also reads toward The Republic and The Guild.
