We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and connecting leaders who work collaboratively in diverse sectors and communities to create and sustain the health and well-being of people and the environment.
We provide leadership and professional development training for workers in the health, environment, public and private sectors in the Rocky Mountain region. With over 1000 graduates of our comprehensive leadership programs, we are also an association of vibrant, forward-looking professionals dedicated to the health and environment of our region.
Looking for opportunities to learn AND have meaningful interactions with others? We’ve got you covered. RIHEL is offering several new virtual programs this fall with more new workshops coming in early 2021.
All workshops open to the public.
A special set of online workshops offered exclusively for graduates of our comprehensive leadership programs. Worskhop topics include:
Learn about all of RIHEL’s comprehensive training programs.
Is there a family member or friend you want to talk with but are concerned about politics getting in the way? You are not alone. Our colleagues at More in Common have recently launched a one-stop hub for everything you need to talk with other Americans about the health and integrity of the election.
It is with great sadness that we share the news that Jerry Montoya (ALTP Class of 2003) passed away on August 18, 2020.
Learn about Jerry’s life, dedication to public health and recent memorial services.
All people have the right to live healthy, socially and economically productive lives. In the quest to achieve this right, there is no room for institutional, personally mediated or internalized racism – only space for equity so everyone has what they need.
RIHEL stands for equity for Black people who for far too long have suffered injustice, indignity, torture, pain and death due to racism. A legacy of hate has earned the rage and anger we are suffering. We support peaceful protesters everywhere who work to end oppression. We cannot change the past but we can change the future. God willing – and through our hands and hearts – we will never go back. We can only thrive if we move forward together.

RIHEL applauds the courageous and effective leadership shown by our graduates every day during the pandemic – even as we are saddened by the loss of life and health. We offer our warmest sentiments for recovery and healing to the RIHEL family and all affected. The pandemic means that RIHEL – like you – must operate in the context of uncertainty. We have postponed our Advanced Leadership Training Program (ALTP), moved the annual Leadership is for Everyone (LIFE) event online, and are adding new online training and workshops beginning fall 2020. The mindset of abundance leads us to many options if our plans need to flex in the near future.

A recent study of RIHEL’s method of training and supporting coaches for our comprehensive leadership development programs concluded that peer coaching creates a psychologically safe learning environment for developing knowledge, skills and confidence for both the program participants (leaders) and the coaches.
Leadership development study shows that RIHEL training has a positive, significant impact overall in participant leadership development.
To sustain our high quality leadership development programs, RIHEL needs 200 of our stakeholders to contribute $100 or more annually. Please help us reach our goal.
