Peter Cullen Trust "Science to Policy Leadership Program" - Open for applications

The Peter Cullen Water and Environment Trust is looking for a diverse group of people who are actively involved in water system management, to participate in their 2012 Science to Policy Leadership Program. This Program focuses on building leadership and communication skills specifically geared to bringing about positive change in water and catchment management in Australia. The program selects attendees who are highly motivated, knowledgeable and skilled people, who can continue the work of Peter Cullen.

If you're working in science, policy or water management, and are passionate about working with others to make a real difference in how our precious natural resources are managed, then this program is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your skills.

Only 15 people will be selected and funded to undertake this journey of personal and professional discovery during 2012. Upon completion of the program, successful participants will become Fellows of the Peter Cullen Trust, and benefit from high level networks, mentoring, skill enhancing opportunities and ongoing support.

The 2012 program is comprised of two hands-on sessions, to be held on 17-21 September and 13-15 November 2012. These sessions will focus on developing leadership and communication skills that will enable river and catchment scientists, policy makers and other key stakeholders to effectively participate in, and influence, policy and political agendas.
