WLI informs BUILD Health Mobility LEAD

WLI approaches to community engagement and leadership development are applicable to a wide range of issues, including transportation. In spring 2019, the WLI team partnered with the Foundation for Louisiana to design the BUILD Health Mobility LEAD program, which focuses on the intersection of transportation planning and public health in New Orleans. 

Tanya James led the design of the program, building on workshop processes and methodologies central to the Water Leaders Institute. In addition, WLI pilot cohort members Tashel Martin and Janet Tobias were program participants, further expanding their engagement with critical environmental, infrastructural, and public health issues.
