Network Leadership Institute
(2022/2023 cohort of the Food Solutions New England Network Leadership Institute)
Update about the Network Leadership Institute from FSNE:
As FSNE continues to evolve, it is engaged in strategic planning to ensure it is strongly positioned to continue its unique and essential contributions to the regional food system transformation. To ensure collective future success, and after careful consideration, we have decided to pause the Network Leadership Institute (NLI) for now. This will allow us to concentrate our resources and capacity on the strategic planning and ensure that programming, like the NLI, can remain sustainable and successful in the future.
Despite this pause, we will continue to work with our NLI alumni (now some 120 people from the past 7 cohorts), and with the broader FSNE network, through the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge, the 2025 White Privilege Conference (coming to Hartford, CT next spring), NE Food System Communicators COP, the Integrated Policy Work, promotion of the FSNE Vision and Values, and gatherings held around our region and beyond. If you have any questions, please reach out to fsne.info@unh.edu.
About the FSNE Network Leadership Institute
Each year, FSNE selects a diverse cohort of values-motivated food system leaders who demonstrate deep engagement with and commitment to the New England food system. Cohort members participate in an immersive, experiential institute designed to maximize learning and growth, reflection and connection, and inspiration and renewal.
Including in-person and virtual sessions, a full facilitation team, and many guest practitioners from across the network, NLI represents a substantial commitment to, and investment in, the development of a thriving and effective food system network for our region. FSNE supports up to eighteen participants a year.
NLI is rooted in the FSNE core values of democratic empowerment, racial equity and dignity for all, sustainability, and trust. Learn more about the core values of FSNE.
