The Eisenhower Fellowships network is unique in the world of international exchange. It fosters connections among current and emerging leaders both within countries and regions and around the globe. This sharing of information, ideas, and perspectives among Fellows, trustees, and staff ensures the ongoing vitality of the entire organization.
Fellows in the Network
Fellows organize country associations, nominate candidates for Eisenhower Fellowships, sponsor USA Fellows, host conferences, and generously share their counsel with the organization’s leadership. Many serve as trustees and International Advisory Council members.
Benefits of the Network
The opportunity for collaboration among Fellows is a primary benefit of the Eisenhower network. Fellows open doors for each other, initiate joint projects on issues of mutual concern, and do business together. Alumni often provide professional contacts for incoming Fellows' programs.
Strengthening links among Fellows is central to the Eisenhower Fellowships mission. The Philadelphia office maintains contact with alumni through newsletters, reports, a network directory, correspondence, calls, and visits.
Conferences
Eisenhower Fellowship conferences are a keystone of its network building. They provide invaluable face-to-face contact for Fellows, trustees and staff, where new friends are made, old friendships renewed, and joint undertakings initiated. In recent years, Eisenhower Fellows have hosted conferences in Ireland, Indonesia, Argentina, Greece, Spain, and Germany.
