Developing & Connecting Leaders

With deep experience in the health, environment, public and private sectors, RIHEL is the preferred source for leadership and professional development throughout the Rocky Mountain region. 

Leadership Community
With well over 1,000 graduates from our comprehensive programs, we continually grow a network of forward-thinking professionals – all dedicated to improving the health and environment of their communities.

What Our Attendees Say

"Not only do the faculty and staff provide a holistic leadership approach, but they provide a welcoming and safe environment that encourages vulnerability and honesty."
"ALTP made me realize I can be an effective leader - and I don't need to be in a formal manager or leader role at work to practice leadership."
 "Leadership isn't always about achieving BIG results... small successes are just as important as big ones."
"...and, an added bonus is that you end up making life-long connections with professionals throughout the country!"
