The Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) provided funding for this workshop. ELP seeks to transform public understanding of environmental issues by training and supporting a diverse network of visionary, action-oriented emerging leaders.
One of the centerpiece of ELP's work is the ELP Fellowship Program, which annually selects approximately twenty individuals with demonstrated talent and potential to participate in a two-year leadership development fellowship. The ELP Fellowship combines a strong peer network and intensive skills training with opportunities for mentoring, project seed money, time for personal and professional reflection, and technical support. ELP Fellows have access to an internal activity fund that allows fellows to pursue capacity building projects to develop leadership skills and accomplish tangible results.
