WELCOME TO OUR NEW 2015 CUP FELLOWS
CUP is proud to introduce the 2015 CUP Fellows! Twenty-five talented, diverse professionals with a passion for civic engagement have been selected from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors to join this year's cohort. Through the CUP Fellows Program, sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and American Express, participants will complete a rigorous ten-month leadership development experience that includes comprehensive trainings on topics such as board service, fundraising, and public speaking, in addition to community service opportunities and a capstone project.
The program kicked off last weekend with a networking reception for the incoming class and CUP Fellows Alumni at The 40/40 Club, followed by a day-long retreat at Doral Arrowwood in Westchester. During the retreat, Fellows heard thought-provoking remarks on civic leadership from Assemblyman Michael Blake, participated in an interactive workshop on Assessing Your Leadership Style, and completed the day with an 'Amazing Race' teambuilding activity.
We look forward to working with the 2015 Fellows throughout the year. Click here to meet the 2015 CUP Fellows.
