Founding Fellows are lifetime fellowship holders who provided The Center with the foundational research that forms the basis of The Center’s programs and leadership model. Additionally, Founding Fellows have provided a multidisciplinary perspective for the development of applied research that informs our programs with practical assessment tools and leadership development modules. Contributions of the Founding Fellows have been pivotal to the establishment and development of The Center, therefore, The Center has granted the Founding Fellows an honorary lifetime membership and recognition.
