About the Women’s Leadership Program
The 2024 Women’s Leadership Program represents EF’s fourth initiative since 2010, aimed at advancing women’s leadership and gender equity, which are integral aspects of the Eisenhower Fellowships mission.
Selected fellows, based on their leadership history, potential for future impact, and commitment to lifelong engagement with Eisenhower Fellowships, will work towards developing their leadership skills.
They will also foster interdisciplinary professional relationships and initiate concrete collaborations aimed at making a positive impact on their societies.
Before the commencement of the fellowship, Fellows are anticipated to dedicate substantial time to research, preparation, and planning, collaborating with the EF program team.
This will be followed by a series of virtual introductory and orientation sessions. In-person travel across the U.S. is scheduled for October and November 2024.
