Since 1953, Eisenhower Fellowships has identified men and women well on their way to positions of national leadership and provided them with opportunities for professional, intellectual, and personal growth.
We look for men and women of outstanding achievement in mid-career, who are expected to assume positions of influence — impact players who can make a difference in their home regions, countries, or more widely. Professional backgrounds vary widely and include many in the private and public sector as well as the not-for-profit and academic arenas. To list only a few among many, Fellows have been economists, architects, businessmen and women, environmentalists, public servants, physicians, and professors. Breadth and variety across political thought lines among the Fellows make for lively interchange among the group’s constituents.
All this—making a difference, having an impact, working with the EF global network—contributes, we believe, to mutual understanding, improving lives, and a more peaceful world.
