Research & Policy Staff: A portion of ELI’s researchers are attorneys with specialties in various aspects of environmental law. Other researchers include scientists, policy analysts, and visiting scholars from outside the United States.
Associates: The ELI Associates Program is the preeminent network for current and future leaders in the environmental law and policy profession. Members from all sectors gain access to basic training through ELI’s respected Boot Camps, timely analysis of issues in ELI’s policy and law journals and its website, sophisticated seminars with experts debating pressing topics from diverse perspectives, and unmatched opportunities to connect with public officials, friends and peers at events such as the annual ELI Award Dinner. The program offers members a unique suite of benefits and contacts that is invaluable to today's—and tomorrow's—environmental professional.
ELI associates pay an annual subscription fee. Unlike other member-based organizations, ELI does not represent its associates or try to promote their activities. Associates receive ELI’s major publications at free or discounted prices, and their employees attend ELI’s educational seminars, such as its Boot Camps on Environmental Law, free of charge.
Board: A Board of Directors provides oversight to the Institute. The board members are leaders from federal and state government, industry, the private bar, citizen organizations, and academia.
Funding: Most of ELI’s funding comes from project-specific grants from major organizations, foundations, and government agencies.
