ELI Public Interest Program

ELI created the Public Interest Program to ensure that the Institute’s professional dialogues and projects involve representatives from citizens organizations. Today, many environmental organizations have joined the program — regional groups across the United States as well as national organizations. This unique individual membership program for public interest environmental organizations provides an interactive exchange of expertise and professional resources. There are two tiers to the membership program — organizations can choose to join as full ELI Public Interest Members or as an ELI Public Interest Friend (see below for a list of benefits for each membership level).

For more information about ELI’s Public Interest Program, please contact Marcia McMurrin.
