“The ELP provides a unique opportunity to be exposed to a wide array of existing and emerging leaders who are forging new, more effective collaborations that will change how we live our lives in the future. My participation in this program has changed my thinking about what is possible when committed, diverse, and skilled individuals come together on issues. And it has increased my network of contacts and personal capacity to contribute to and lead these types of collaborations successfully.”
