We are excited to announce the inaugural class of the Soil and Water Conservation Society's Emerging Leaders Program! Throughout this year-long program, these 128 Emerging Leaders from 36 states/territories/provinces will fine-tune and expand their skills and networks to further advance conservation and their career.
They will go through four immersive and interactive learning modules that will allow them to connect with their peers and leaders in conservation. Emerging Leaders will then apply their learning to host a conservation event locally.
We are eager to kick off the first year of this program with such a fantastic group of professionals. Here's to a year of learning, growing, and conservation!
