Thank you for taking the time to submit a letter of support on behalf of your colleague who's applying to join a cohort for the Green Communities Leadership Institute. Please know everything you share in this letter will be confidential and will not be shared with your colleague.
The Institute is designed for any leader working to create more sustainable communities, encompassing a variety of professions and industries. The Institute is designed around a cohort model, where rather than registering, people will apply through a competitive process to be selected for an annual cohort. Each cohort will encompass a diverse group of individuals including, but not limited to: urban foresters/arborists, planners, landscape architects, civil/water engineers, park supervisors, community leaders/organizers, public works managers, and many others.
The Institute curriculum is being designed around a three-dimensional leadership model comprised of: Individual, Organizational, and Society/Community domains. The Institute will focus around three tangible outcomes: (1) Expanding Personal Leadership Influence and Competencies; (2) Increasing Organizational Leadership Impact; and (3) Growing Community Leadership Capacity.
After having this brief background on the Institute, we are looking to you for your experience and recommendations in regards to your colleauge being an appropriate fit for the Green Communities Leadership Institute.
Please know you can save your progress and finish your letter of support at any time -- however, all letters of support need to be completed by September 9, 2024. We appreciate you taking the time to submit this letter of support, and we look forward to reviewing your colleague's application for the Green Communities Leadership Institute.
