The Conservation Capacity Project invited Momentum's Executive Director, Jess Burton, to reflect on her recent sabbatical with our community. One of her big takeaways is that as much as this sabbatical was so good for her personally and professionally, it was just as good for Momentum’s organizational resilience and development. A sabbatical policy is an investment in staff resilience and the sustainability of your organization.
