First, I would like to give due credit to Trista Harris, primary author of the trend-setting blog New Voices of Philanthropy, and from whom I have borrowed the name. My hope for this blog is to take the inspiration gained from Trista’s blog (and others) and begin a conversation about next generation of Conservation Leaders and the change we want to see in the field, in our work and in the world.
The dialogue that exists around the leadership deficit and the needs of next generation leaders is compelling. Unfortunately, the conversation doesn’t seem to have reached the conservation community.
What are we, in the conservation field, doing to nurture and support our next generation of leaders?
