The Network for Emerging Leaders in Sustainability (NELS) is a new organization for early-career professionals (and professionals who are new to the topic of sustainability) who are interested in building bridges with peers in DC-area agencies and organizations.  The Network includes leaders with diverse backgrounds and expertise, from natural resource management to energy policy to public health.  NELS members share a common interest in taking a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges — considering the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of these problems.  Through NELS, these emerging leaders will foster relationships that enable them to more effectively bring about a sustainable future.

Emerging leaders in sustainability, please join NELS for their June event:
