PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Over nine months, Fellows will grow in their understanding of Miami and as civic leaders through various activities with public and private sector leaders. Private seminars, hands-on site visits and executive-level mentorship form the foundation of the Fellows program. 

The Fellowship places emphasis on topics of pressing importance to Miami, including improving the city’s transit, housing and education systems. Critically, Fellows will be exposed to leaders from sectors where Miami’s growth is strong, and competitive advantages should be leveraged. This includes Miami’s growing sports culture, arts ecosystem, and growing finance sector.

EXECUTIVE-LEVEL COACHING AND MENTORSHIP

Fellows have the opportunity to receive coaching and mentorship from global business leaders who will share their experiences and insights on the future of Miami and the value and importance of business and civic leadership.

COMMITMENT

Over the course of the 9-month program, Fellows attend a series of scheduled meetings, site visits and tours that are held each month. Fellows are required to attend each session and must be able to commit the time and attention the program requires.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Fellows should possess a strong leadership foundation and exhibit the potential for significant community impact. They should have a proven track record of success in their respective fields, including demonstrated accomplishments, career advancement, and recognition by peers and industry leaders. We seek those who possess the ability to innovate, adapt and solve problems.
