Who Is Affected

Mid-level managers in California’s water and energy sectors (Educate 2 Lead)
Local elected officials across California (UnTapped Fellowship)

Blog Angles

Representation gap: How well are Latino leaders currently represented on California water boards, and do programs like WELL measurably change that?
Elected vs. staff training: Why does the UnTapped Fellowship specifically target elected officials rather than agency staff, and what does that reveal about where water policy knowledge gaps are greatest?
Pipeline to leadership: Are Educate 2 Lead alumni advancing into senior water agency roles, and can WELL document measurable career outcomes?
