The weeks ahead are full of conferences where board, staff, and volunteers in the environmental and conservation community are gathering to deepen their skills, build their networks, and up their game. From Vermont to Colorado to Toronto, ICL will be on the road this fall to support meaningful conversations about leadership, collaboration, and strategies for building effective, resilient organizations during these challenging times.

Will you be attending one of the conferences below? Whether or not you are able to attend our workshops, we would love to see you!

The opportunity to meet in person to strategize or hear what’s keeping you up at night is invaluable – we’re available to both support and learn from you. Share your experiences and learn from your peers at a workshop facilitated by ICL, or grab us for some one-on-one time during a break or over a meal. Contact us at [email protected] to let us know where you’ll be and schedule time to talk.
