This inter- and intra-organizational collaboration helps fellows develop and hone valuable cross-sector leadership skills and strategies.
Fellows complete a 13-month placement in the Office of Applied Innovation (August 9, 2021 – September 2, 2022). Outgoing and incoming fellows will work collaboratively during a one-month transition period.
