Annual Report Fiscal Year 1998 July 1, 1997-June 30, 1998 Annual Report Fiscal Year 1998 July 1, 1997-June 30, 1998 Organization for Tropical Studies Organización para Estudios Tropicales Dedicated to providing leadership in education, research and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics. The Organization for Tropical Studies is a nonprofit consortium of more than 50 universities and research institutions from the U.S. and Latin America. OTS was established in 1963 to provide leadership in education, research and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics. To address this mission, OTS conducts graduate, undergraduate and professional education, facilitates research, participates in tropical forest conservation, maintains three biological stations in Costa Rica and conducts environmental education programs.

By early summer a presiden- tial committee had been formed to assess OTS’ current mission, goals and objectives. Chaired by Ross Simons (Smithsonian), the committee members included Garry Brewer (U. California-Berkeley), Russ Faucett (OTS Board of Visitors), Rodrigo Gámez (INBio), Frank Harris (U. Tennessee), Bette Loiselle (U. Missouri-St. Louis), Lucinda McDade (U. Arizona), Bill Stott (Ripon College) and Tom Yuill (U. Wisconsin). By late summer, a comprehensive questionnaire had been sent to OTS’ Board of Directors, Board of Visitors and staff. This was followed by a weekend planning session in September by the Strategic Planning Committee that, in addition to reviewing the responses from the questionnaires and setting down the parameters of how to proceed, met for an afternoon with the Board of Visitors to gain from their insight. In late October the Executive Committee met at Duke and reviewed the progress of the Strategic Planning Commit- tee and undertook a planning session of its own under Ross Simon’s direction. In Miami in January the first draft of the strategic plan was actually vetted by the Strategic Planning Committee with the Vice President for Education, Don Wilson (Smithsonian) and OTS’ new Academic Director (Nora Bynum) participating in the discussions. The March 1998 meeting of the Board of Directors involved all of the principal constituencies in reviewing the draft strategic plan. The Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Board of Visitors and OTS senior staff engaged in a three-day session facilitated by Dr. Paul Risser (president of Oregon State University). Together, we agreed on the following goals for OTS: · Provide leadership in professional training · Provide leadership in tropical research · Promote and practice sustainability in the tropics · Increase public awareness about the tropics · Support program objectives through improvements in finance, human resources, manage- ment and physical infrastructure Fiscal year 1998 ended with a comprehensive revision of the strategic plan based on all of the comments received at the March 1998 meeting. Now the plan is ready for approval by the Board of Directors at the March 1999 meeting. How we accomplish the goals outlined in the strategic plan will be the basis for our work into the next millennium. As the highlights in this report illustrate, fiscal year 1998 will also be remembered for the tremendous year we had providing leadership in education, research and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics. These accomplishments do much to ensure we can achieve a future envisioned in the strategic plan. 3 Executive Committee President: Pedro León (U.

Conservation biologist Karen Lips (http://biology.umd.edu/karen-lips.html) and wildlife ecologist Peyton West (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peyton-west-bb52754a) outlined the extent of the worldwide ecological crisis and the potential for collaboration between conservationists and religious communities, while theologian William Brown made a scriptural case for such efforts and environmental journalist Daniel Grossman moderated the discussion. Lips, Director of Graduate Program in Sustainable Development and Conservation Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park, drew upon the troubling story of worldwide amphibian decline to make her points while West, Executive Director of the Frankfurt Zoological Society-U.S. (and former DoSER project director), discussed how her conservation efforts in Africa and South East Asia are impacted for both good and ill by religious communities.

  • The Six Dimensions of Collective Leadership That Advance Sustainability Objectives: Rethinking What It Means to Be an Academic Leader

Solutions to our most pressing environmental problems demand the development and application of leadership skills that are not typically fostered in traditional academic programs: skills that advance new transdisciplinary approaches to co-produce knowledge that can be mobilized for action. We outline a new collective leadership model with six dimensions, Inquire, Connect, Engage, Strategize, Empower, and Reflect, and show through a series of case studies how each of these leadership dimensions can be used to create positive and lasting change for people and their environments. We also describe how academic researchers can learn to apply these dimensions in their own work and introduce a series of companion online narratives and teaching resources designed to facilitate
