A strong and effective network is crucial to sustainable impacts in and beyond the conservation sector. It will allow leaders of nature conservation organisations to operate more effectively. MENC aims at supporting participants in their individual learning and leadership development. Thus, it strengthens the capacity of all partner organisations to increase their individual and joint impact.

Within MENC, I feel accepted with all my rough edges. I find this safe space emotionally empowering. It helps me not to let setbacks or minor issues distract me from my path.
