Download program brochure
The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance (CSPG) is now accepting applications for the 2008-2009 Policy Fellows leadership development program.
Now in its 18th year, the Policy Fellows program offers practical training in public affairs leadership for emerging leaders from government, private, and nonprofit sectors from around the state. The program equips participants with the skills to inspire, organize, and work effectively with others to advance the public good.
“The Policy Fellows program is truly unique. Fellows meet with experienced practitioners from Minnesota and beyond to learn how they can affect positive change across sectors,” said Larry Jacobs, director of the program and CSPG. “Best of all, fellows connect and work with a remarkable group of emerging leaders, as well as a network of over 500 program alumni, to further the common good.”
Policy Fellows represent a variety of personal and professional backgrounds and communities around the state. Beginning in September and concluding in June, fellows meet monthly to explore fundamental aspects of leadership through presentations by local and nationally recognized experts. Fellows’ sessions combine seminars and hands-on skill-building practice. Past fellows have met with Vice President Walter Mondale; Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright; Governor Arne Carlson; Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute; columnist E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post; Ronald Heifetz of Harvard University, co-author of Leadership on the Line; Kerri Miller, host of MPR’s Midmorning and Talking Volumes; and others.
