CLASP

In a world where natural resources are diminishing and competition for these resources is increasing, you, as a developing business leader, need to master the issues.

As a participant in the Contemplative Leadership and Sustainability Program (CLASP), you'll learn to examine your values and explore how your leadership aligns with those values, especially as organizations begin to grapple with sustainability.

CLASP will enhance your ability to effectively and authentically lead in a world where the supply of natural resources is decreasing and the competition for access to these resources is increasing.
