The theme of our Spring/Summer 2019 program is Bold Steps for Future Impact. This Fellowship is specifically designed and curated for CEOs and senior leaders who have recently taken on new roles, whose organizations are undergoing changes, who are launching new ventures, or have otherwise expanding and shifting roles.  

In these circumstances, two sets of skills are critical for success: knowing how to work effectively with diverse and growing sets of stakeholders, and understanding how to innovate for both your own and your organization’s continued success.  The Fellowship explores both of these areas.

April 29 - May 2, 2019 

Greater New York City: Greentree Foundation Estate and Citi Field 

This first Immersion focuses on public and private stakeholder engagement, as well as societal impact.  Here, we examine boards, governments, investors, employees, and customers, putting Fellows in situations that highlight the importance of global and local engagement.
