Building Community Among Leaders
The purpose of Redwood Fellows is to build a statewide community to support accomplished leaders in achieving their aspirations, accelerating their individual and collective impact.
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.
Redwood Fellows builds community through a fellowship experience that leads to membership in a broader statewide community 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, and lead institutions.
