Focus 2012

Connection. Collaboration. Impact

Every five years, we do something unique. We take a full year to strengthen the fellowship experience for the Fellows we've engaged in the past and those we have yet to meet.

Instead of introducing a new cohort of Fellows, we invest the year in programs and activities to re-engage our Fellows and the broader environmental field, to reconnect Fellows with one another, and to encourage renewed collaboration.

It's our way of making sure that the program continues to evolve and grow in ways that make the fellowship experience even more powerful and enables our Fellows to build on the experience to create more impact in their own communities and around the world.
