In February 2020, The Pride Lion Conservation Alliance and Colorado State University will host a 3-day training workshop at the Brackenhurst Conference and Training Center in Limuru, Kenya to a cohort of women conservationists aimed at creating a new path to successful leadership, increasing resilience in challenging times, and joining a network of like-minded women conservationists. The training will offer personal growth opportunities such as leadership identity development, mentorship training, negotiation/conflict resolution skills, and creating a peer network of women conservation leaders to support one another in achieving greater conservation impact. Successful applicants will be encouraged to submit an abstract or session proposal to be presented at the Pathways Kenya conference directly following the 3-day training.
