NCLI Cohort 14
When: October 2019 - September 2020
The Fellows of NCLI Cohort 14 joined NCLI faculty, coaches, and staff at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, WV for their first residency in October 2019. These 36 individuals came from a particularly diverse range of organizations, including federal and state agencies, NGOs, and industry.
After completing their 12 day First Residency, Fellows spent time working in small groups on their adaptive leadership challenges, then reconvened in September 2020 for the first ever virtual second residency. (Cohort 14's second residency was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
Upon completion of the program, the Fellows of Cohort 14 joined an ever-expanding network of almost 500 Alumni working in natural resource conservation throughout North America. See a full list of NCLI Alumni here.
Unleashing the Power | NCLI 2.0 2018
The National Conservation Leadership Institute will provide an advanced adaptive leadership training opportunity. The goal of this event is to build on the adaptive leadership training of the NCLI by developing skills to diagnose systemic problems in our conservation reality. We have all observed in our own adaptive challenges, that often the struggle is determining; what happened, what’s been happening and why?
All of the tools and methods in this training are aimed at surfacing and challenging preconceptions, beliefs and assumptions. This training picks up where NCLI left off, diving deep into skill development focused on better understanding the system, its constituents, factions, alliances and identifying leverage points and opportunities for well-crafted interventions for maximum impact.
WHO: This is the first Alumni community-wide organized and funded event! All NCLI Alumni are welcome to attend.
WHEN: The training is February 5-8, starting at 5:30 pm on Monday, February 5 and ending at 4:30 pm on February 8. Travel is encouraged on February 5 and 9.
WHERE: National Conservation Training Center, Shepherdstown, West Virgina. NCTC is located in the countryside, about 4 miles from historic downtown Shepherdstown, West Virginia. It is a little over an hour from Dulles Airport (IAD) in Virginia, and 1.5 – 2 hours from Baltimore Airport (BWI), depending on the traffic.
