There is overwhelming consensus that QLF’s greatest strength over its history E has been its cadre of Volunteers, Interns, International Fellows, and staff who R have worked for over five decades in every capacity. QLF’s Alumni number G N

more than 5,000 and hail from 75 countries in six regions worldwide. Many O C command leadership in academia, business, government, law, and medicine. I

A majority are leaders in community and conservation. All Alumni share the N same spirit and feelings about QLF undiminished by time and geography. M U In November, QLF will, once again, tap the enormous talent, energy, and L A

wisdom of its Alumni as we focus our vision in the face of a major QLF F milestone; that is, the formalization of the Global Leadership Network, QLF’s Photograph above and below: L
