Building Community among Leaders
The Redwood Fellowship is designed for accomplished leaders who live in Connecticut and work in multiple sectors across the state. The Fellowship seeks to build community among leaders to help each individual thrive and ascend, and to collectively expand opportunity and prosperity throughout Connecticut. In 2025, the program will launch by convening two cohorts of Fellows, building community with 42 accomplished leaders.
Leadership and Community
Redwood trees stand tall for so long because they interlock their roots with other redwoods. They embrace interdependence as their foundation. The same is true for accomplished leaders.
Transformative leadership requires community. But community does not just happen. Together, we must build community.
The Redwood Fellowship envisions and builds a statewide community in Connecticut that actively supports accomplished leaders in achieving their aspirations. Accomplished leaders are individuals who lead through service or who demonstrate their leadership through the creation or advancement of impactful initiatives.
Trust-based relationships help leaders thrive and reach their greatest potential. Human connection, especially among leaders, is more important than ever in fostering creativity and encouraging risk-taking. Being in community enables leaders to overcome barriers and increase their access to opportunity, influence, and resources.
Imagine the immense possibilities when accomplished leaders work together in Connecticut to build community, actively support each other, strengthen their leadership, and increase their collective impact.
