DescriptionRegional Fellowship Programs: ELP's Regional Fellowship Programs offers intensive leadership and skill training, regional and national networking opportunities, and time for personal and professional reflection. Through retreats and optional additional trainings, our curriculum helps emerging leaders hone their leadership styles, improve their strategy and organizational development, and strengthen their outreach to diverse constituencies. In 2012 ELP operated two regional networks, its New England Program for those living and/or working in CT, MA, ME, NH, RI and VT; and its Eastern Program for those living and/or working in DE, NJ, NY and eastern PA. In total, 36 emerging leaders completed the program and joined our national network of Senior Fellows.Description

ELP General Program activities provide additional support to our regional network Fellows as well as our Senior Fellowship Community (graduates of the program). Included in our general program activities in 2012 was our webinar series, a dynamic online program that provides educational opportunities to the general public on the diverse areas of expertise within the ELP Community; our second women's retreat which brought together 15 members of our Senior Fellows Community to discuss the challenges women face as they continue to expand their leadership responsibilities in the workplace; and our first Systems Thinking Retreat which not only increased our Senior Fellows ability to think about their work from a systems perspective, but brought together members of two other leadership organizations to expand each participants professional network.Description

Return ReferencePart I, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationSchedule I, Part I, Line 2: ELP's Innovation Grant Program is a highly selective competitive grant created to generate innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges through the fostering of collaborations within the ELP Senior Fellows Network. ELP Senior Fellows applying for this grant must collaborate with at least one other Senior Fellow, submit a project proposal which includes evaluations protocols for their project as well as a theory of change, and provide a detailed presentation about their project through ELP's Webinar Series. Proposals are reviewed by an external (non-ELP staff) committee who meet by phone to discuss each proposal and critique them by using a decision rubric and their expert opinions on which projects are the most innovative and/or most likely to succeed. At the conclusion of each project, Innovation Grant Teams present their results to ELP and the general public through a webinar. Innovation Grant Webinars are open to the general public to provide both transparency in the work as well as to spur conversation about the projects and hopefully spur replication and scaling efforts. All webinars are recorded and available in ELP's Webinar Archive www.elpnet.org/webinar-archive. A portion of each grant award is held until the webinar has been completed indicating successful completion of the project.Explanation
