PART 1: AN OVERVIEW OF THE LEADERSHIP FOR ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (LEAD)PROGRAM

A UniqueApproach to EffectChange as The words ofMargaret Mead must have echoed in the halls ofthe Rockefeller Foundation they And devised the philosophy and format ofthe Leadership for Environment Development (LEAD) between humanityand programin the late 1980s.

A continuing program related to sustainable then provides LEAD graduates with support toward research projects and development, participationin relevant conferences and international forums, general support in maintaining the network ofinternational contacts made during the Associate phase.

Some ofthe key features ofLEAD which make it a truly uniqueprogram include the following:

Multi-DisciplinaryParticipation: of and The LEAD program draws its participantssimultaneously from a wide variety professions economic sectors, enablingthe program to have an impact in Canada's key business, government, are able non-government, labour and academiccircles, and also ensuringthat program participants to benefit from the diverse perspectives of each sector.

Canadian LEADers are connected to a global network

The 84 CanadianLEADers are partof a network of approximately 1,200 LEADers, graduates ofthe North South LEAD program, from 13 Member Programs—includingCanada--and bridging the divide. International connections are maintained through LEAD.Net and through joint projects involving LEAD Fellowsfrom acrossthe network supportedby LEAD International.

These connections have already borne substantial fruit through the LEAD Fellowship Program, relevant which provides financial support to LEAD Fellows to undertakeresearch programs into sustainable development topics. Many of these Fellowship initiatives have been collaborative efforts involvingLEAD Fellowsfrom two or more nationalprograms, and several ofthese projects have involvedLEAD Canada Fellows. For example:

• one CanadianFellow worked with a colleague from LEAD Europe on a joint project entitled "Beautiful World: creating a bridge between art andsustainability"; • one Canadian Fellow was able to participate in the Group of Eight (G-8) Summit in Okinawa, Japan in July 2000, including the symposium 'New Directions in Global Governance'; one CanadianFellow is currently participatingin a collaborative project with several Fellows from LEAD India, in efforts to develop a biodiversity conservation and ecotourism development plan for the Corbett-Binsar-Nainital region ofIndia

Canadian LEADers are leading

The strategy that inspiredand guidedthe RockefellerFoundation's conception and support ofLEAD was the belief that 'Leadership' is the key to change and good leaders make for good change. The tactic has been to produce of good leaders—taking people from all levels of government, a wide range of private enterprises and from a range of non-government organizations who had demonstrated in the early stages oftheir careers that they were destinedfor leadership positionsin their chosenfields. LEAD exposed these leaders in embryoto the challenges they will face if they are to help those they lead contribute to a world that is sustainable in economic, social and environmental terms.

The strength and potential influence of LEADers is best illustrated by a small sampling of the current LEAD Canada roster of participants. LEAD Canada Fellows and participants currently include: • two elected municipalofficials, Senior Advisorsto two current federal CabinetMinisters, the Senior Advisor to the Deputy Minister of Environment Canada, the ExecutiveDirector of a major provincialfarm organization a Transport Economist with the WorldBank, a memberof the Editorial Board for a major Canadian newspaper,
