1. Policy-Maker Outreach -- educates public policy-makers and environmental, business and community leaders with non-partisan analysis, studies, and research to assist them in leading the community to a sustainable future. Our primary outreach method is an ongoing informational mailing program. The Leadership Institute also sponsors occasional meetings or seminars to bring together policy leaders on specific issues, and Institute staff meets periodically with key policy-makers to introduce the Leadership Institute and its work.
