The signature program of Leadership Wisconsin is a two-year curriculum providing fellows with first-hand experience through state, national and international travel enabling them to have a broader understanding of the world, its people and their relationships to our communities. To be selected all fellows must have demonstrated prior leadership capacity through state or local activities. Fellows reflect the diversity and richness of backgrounds and cultures of Wisconsin, yet they share a common desire to actively help solve their community’s issues. It is the only statewide leadership program in Wisconsin. In 2003 the W. K. Kellogg Foundation recognized us as “one of the exemplary leadership development programs in the nation.”
“Our fellows are leaders from around the state of Wisconsin who are active in their communities, organizations, or businesses. They are passionate and motivated to make things happen.” JoAnn Stormer, Executive Director, said.
