The Annie E. Casey Foundation 2010-2011 Children and Family Fellowship
The 2010-2011 Children and Family Fellowship is designed for outstanding executives who lead large public sector service systems, major community-based service organizations, or advocacy initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for children, families, and communities. The Fellowship is an opportunity for these senior leaders to augment their knowledge and experiences, sharpen their skills, broaden their perspectives, and increase their influence.
The Fellowship is a 20-month program, which will begin in May 2010. While balancing the demands of their current positions, Fellows participate in a series of leadership opportunities, including executive seminars, site visits to learn about path-breaking agencies and organizations throughout the country that have pioneered innovative service delivery models, and application of learnings within their home organizations that strengthen their capacity to improve outcomes for children and families.
For this prestigious opportunity, we look for individuals who:
- Are currently in a leadership role and making a measurable difference for children and families;
- Have taken an innovative idea to scale;
- Have demonstrated their ability to transform systems that serve children and families;
- Have led effective collaborations among families, communities, and nonprofit and public agencies;
- Have applied new ideas, tools, and approaches that have benefited their work and organizations;
- Have a contribution to make to a network of peers working on the cutting edge of children and family policy and reform;
- Are currently working on an organizational challenge that they are willing to share with other Fellows to aid in their and their cohort’s learning; and
- Have the potential to become significantly more influential in their field.
The selection process has been completed for 2010-2011 Fellowship Class. See our newest class of Fellows.
