Before enrolling in the MPNL program, Brianna Salmon worked with a non-governmental organization (NGO) and finished a graduate thesis about sustainable transportation. She graduated from the MPNL program<\/a> in 2014 and is now the Executive Director of Green Communities Canada<\/a>, a national organization based in Peterborough. On the 10th anniversary of the MPNL program, she spoke with PANL Perspectives<\/em><\/a> about what stood out for her in the program. (This interview has been shortened and edited.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Why were you interested in the MPNL program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salmon:<\/strong> I was interested in the opportunity to further develop my leadership skills and my knowledge as it related to the sector, and to better understand how I could create the kind of change I wanted to see within the Canadian NGO (non-governmental organization) landscape. I was particularly attracted to this program because of its practitioner-led approach and because of the reputation of the faculty<\/a> involved. And I was excited about being involved in rich, small-group learning, and to be able to learn from folks who had been working in the sector much longer than I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
