ILC Working Sessions

The International Leadership Council meets each year in the Spring and Fall. The Spring meeting takes place in Washington, D.C., and often includes a networking opportunity with other partner organizations and corporate supporters of the Conservancy. The Fall meeting takes place near a conservation project in the Unites States or abroad to provide members with firsthand exposure to conservation strategies and results.
