State Legislators Selected as Eleanor Roosevelt Global Leadership Fellows
Twelve state legislators have been chosen as Fellows to participate in a pilot
class for the Eleanor Roosevelt Global Leadership Institute. The selected Fellows, all
of whom are alumni of CPA’s Flemming Fellows Institute, share a commitment to
the CPA model of values-based, consensus-building leadership and demonstrate
an active interest in the impact of globalization on their communities – local,
state and regional. Many have witnessed the effect of capital movement, job
transfers, trade rules, immigration and technological change.
Through a 10-month program that includes two
intensive retreats, legislators will be encouraged to think in the future tense, act
with global knowledge and awareness, and become effective messengers for a
more progressive, global consciousness.
The domestic retreat will be held April 20-23 at the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund’s Pocantico Conference Center in Pocantico Hills, New York. In an immersion
setting that highlights values and experiential elements, participants will be
challenged to examine values, to explore new modes of mediation, to probe
cross-cultural issues, and to look through an international lens when examining policy issues.
The international retreat, to be held October 7-13 in Santiago, Chile
(with visits to Valparaiso, Concepcion and other locations), will provide
opportunities for Roosevelt Fellows to interact with peers, meet representatives of the
public and private sectors and the non-governmental organization community, and
be exposed first-hand to how an advanced developing country sees its challenges
and opportunities in the global community.
