Southeastern Council of Foundations Names 2005 Hull Fellows
The Southeastern Council of Foundations names 19 young philanthropic leaders to elite Hull Fellows Program. The only program of its kind in the country, the Hull Fellows Program is designed to develop and inspire the Southeast’s next generation of philanthropic leaders.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 21, 2005 -- The Southeastern Council of Foundations
(SECF) has named its 2005 class of Hull Fellows. Only nineteen young leaders in
philanthropy were accepted to participate in this elite program.
The only
program of its kind in the country, the Hull Leadership Program was established
by SECF in 2000 to develop and inspire the Southeast’s next generation of
philanthropic leaders. The selective program benefits some of the brightest
foundation staff and trustees who have demonstrated strong leadership
capabilities in their careers and their communities.
The Hull Fellows
will participate in a dynamic program where they will study the historic roots
of philanthropy, gain new perspectives on philanthropic issues and explore the
challenges and opportunities specific to southern philanthropy. The program also
helps Fellows develop their personal leadership abilities and form new,
collaborative relationships with their southeastern peers.
The
cornerstone of the Hull Leadership Program is a summer conference in Richmond,
Virginia that offers the Fellows a wealth of opportunities for both professional
and personal growth through an interactive, communal program. The program
concludes with a special session at the annual meeting of the Southeastern
Council of Foundations in Marco Island, Florida, in November.
