Leadership Training for a Sustainable Future is an educational program on creating public policy that integrates ecology, economy and social equity into sustainable community. The seminar-style course, held once a month from August through May, inspires current and future leaders through field trips, presentations by local and regional experts, panel discussions, hands-on exercises, and a group leadership project. Participants will deepen their understanding of key public policy issues and opportunities, as well as gain a new vision for a more just and sustainable future. They will also connect with other concerned leaders, receive an extensive binder of related readings, and develop the tools, resources and networks needed to become more effective policymakers and community leaders. Leadership Training for a Sustainable Future is a proactive, applied educational experience, engaging participants through a class leadership project, homework and reading assignments, and an optional mentorship program that connects current students with Institute Fellows in relevant fields. Topics Include:
