Management Fellows is an advanced professional fellowship program that will help prepare new generations of non-profit managers to lead with confidence and knowledge.
Candidates must be both experienced and promising, and have served in their current roles long enough to have a command of their responsibilities. Fellows include non-profit professionals in development and related fields (alumni affairs, public relations) who are managers.

The program meets for ten sessions, September through June, from 6:00–9:00 p.m., one Thursday per month.
Sample session topics: finding the right job; supporting/engaging institutional leaders in development; building, leading and managing a team; institutional strategic planning and its relationship to fundraising; designing and implementing a special campaign; and developing a principal gift program.
