2011 - 2012
The Miami Fellows program is designed to engage a new generation of leaders in building a Greater Miami. The Miami Foundation will identify people who are inspired by our community’s potential, have demonstrated leadership and have the dedication to do more. The City of Miami will serve as a learning laboratory for the 15-month experience. Fellows will develop a deeper understanding of personal leadership styles while learning more about the important issues facing Miami. Fellows will connect with the men and women heading Miami's most influential organizations and create lasting relationships. This collective experience will inspire Class VI to engage and give back. Miami Fellows Class VI builds on the legacy of the program that began in 1999. Since then, nearly 100 people have participated. This year, we bring a sharper focus on building Fellows’ knowledge, networks and abilities; and increasing their community engagement and impact. That could mean Fellows pursue civic, public service or elected positions; work for better policies or practices to solve community problems; or speak out on issues and mobilize others. Whatever path they choose, our goal is for Fellows to lead toward a Greater Miami.
