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.

"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."
