What is SITCOM?

The State Interagency Training Committee (SITCOM) is a partnership effort with a mission to maintain and strengthen a statewide team of well-trained conservation professionals that carry on Wisconsin's rich history of conserving soil and water resources through a coordinated and efficient partnership.

Who Benefits from SITCOM?

All conservation professionals benefit from the efforts to collaborate and coordinate to offer training opportunities.

Who is SITCOM?

SITCOM is comprised of staff from WI Land+Water, Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), UW-Madison - Extension, Land and Water Conservation Departments (LWCD), Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the five Area Interagency Training Committees (AITCOMs), Professional Improvement Committee (PIC), Technical Committee, and the private sector.

“I have been taking advantage of the trainings provided by SITCOM for the past two years, of which I have started two different jobs in County Conservation departments. The SITCOM trainings were exactly what I needed to learn many of the conservation practices that I use to solve land and water issues.”

SITCOM offers a range of trainings, from webinars to workshops, designed to improve technical and professional skills. We send a biweekly e-newsletter about upcoming trainings to more than 1,500 conservation professionals across the state.
