This year the Institute for Conservation Leadership is 20 years old! This month, we are pleased to begin 12 months of special programming and activities in the spirit of “Celebrating 20 Years of Growing Green Leaders.”

Over the last 20 years, we have touched so many people, so many groups, and so many collaborative efforts. We are very privileged to strengthen a diverse set of over 1,000 leaders every year. The ripple effect of our mission can be seen in each step forward made by those we serve.

During our year of celebration, we look forward to sharing some of the stories about leaders like you who make a difference each day for our communities and our Earth. We also look forward to creating new opportunities for learning and reflection about what is needed to lead our organizations and collaborative work over the next 20 years.

One of those opportunities is the "Issues of Convergence for Green Leaders" webinar this September. Watch your email and your mail box for additional opportunities, and please take advantage of what we will offer.

Thank you for your important work each day! For the last 20 years, and for the 20 years ahead, we are grateful for all that you do!
