The leadership program was established in 2009 by Clifton Poodry and Marigold Linton, both founding members of SACNAS, with the aim of providing top-tier training for underrepresented minority scientists, preparing them to lead institutional transformation.
It is the first of three yearly leadership training programs offered by SACNAS, dedicated to enhancing the leadership skills of students and professionals, fostering their educational and career advancement, and enabling them to instigate change at the highest levels.
According to SACNAS, approximately 400 Linton-Poodry SACNAS Leadership Institute alumni currently hold high-level positions in science and leadership.
SACNAS is committed to assisting Chicano/Hispanic and Native American individuals in achieving advanced degrees, careers, and leadership roles within STEM.
