What Leadership Fellows are Saying

"It was a way to commit to learning about issues outside my experience in an environment that felt safe to be challenged. I look forward to these monthly meetups that felt so far outside of my safe and ordinary life and so essential at the same time."
-Rob London, MidFirst Bank

"It will expand your mind, it will question your assumptions, and it will be a real tremendous catalyst for deep connections with people who walk in very different sandals than your own."
-Ana Arias, Arias Global Consulting

"Leadership Fellows has meant making connections and learning more about the needs within our community, as well as all the great work going on to make a difference."
-Yvette Larrea, Workforce Boulder County
