“The Partnership’s credibility with top government and business executives has provided a halo to the Fellows, expanding both our access and ability to influence the leadership of New York. Given the personal and professional demands on our time, the Fellowship offers a rare chance to develop intimate relationships with a dynamic group of peers, each committed to sharing their knowledge and relationships with the other Fellows. The shared experiences create bonds that transcend the formal bounds of the program.” John Rhea

Program events will expose Fellows to models of corporate and civic leadership, as well as top government officials.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Meetings are scheduled with key Congressional, city and state officials to discuss issues relevant to state and local politics. Fellows have met with U.S. presidents, the Governor, State Comptroller, State Attorney General, mayor, NYC Dept. of Education chancellor, Speaker of the City Council, borough officials, Police and Fire Commissioners and the Chairman of the MTA.
PRIVATE AND CIVIC SECTOR LEADERS
Fellows also have an opportunity to meet with private and civic sector leaders who are at the forefront of issues affecting the city. These leaders provide personal insight on the benefits of public-private partnerships, the significance of enhancing corporate citizenship and the importance of helping to maintain New York City’s position as the global center of commerce.

In order to provide a first-hand view of some of the issues affecting the city, site visits and tours are occasionally scheduled to complement meetings and have included: City Hall, NYPD headquarters and crime management operations; Office of Emergency Management headquarters; NYC water supply reservoir and tunnel excavation; affordable housing and community development sites in the Bronx and Harlem; Rikers Island Prison; public high schools and charter schools; Manhattan Family Court; and several arts and cultural institutions.
