Institutional Leadership

I have spent over a decade watching institutions announce sustainability commitments faster than they could find people qualified to execute them. That gap between ambition and capability is what IISF was built to close. The CSFP designation has to prove that its holder can do the work. That standard is the only thing I intend to protect as this institution grows.
