Learning Objective: Examine methods for helping diverse female natural resource professionals grow and develop into the next level of leadership.

All organizations know that they must provide opportunities for employees at all levels to build capacity and provide leadership development. Natural resources professionals also know they must recruit and develop leaders that mirror the changing demographics of the country. What are the strategies needed to recruit and retain new leaders in public service? Are requirements different for younger versus more mature professionals?
