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.

To become a NELS member and be added to our mailing list, please email sustainability@nas.edu or call 202-334-2694.

NELS is supported by the National Academies' George and Cynthia Mitchell Endowment for Sustainability Science.
