A Statewide Community of Leaders, Building A Stronger Connecticut

42 Towns and Cities, 12 Sectors, 85 Leaders—more than 200 Leaders by 2030.

Redwood Fellows convenes accomplished leaders from across Connecticut’s towns, cities, and professional sectors to build trusting relationships and turn that trust into collaborative action for a stronger state.

Connecticut is home to leaders from every generation and party leading extraordinary work in government, business, education, faith, philanthropy, the arts, and beyond. But they rarely have the time, space, or trusted relationships to work across those lines. Redwood Fellows exists to close that gap: a cross-sector leadership community where leaders meet as human beings first, and then leverage each other’s talents for the common good.

Statewide, Cross-Sector Collaborative Action

Long-term dedication

“As a leader, I often find myself alone or in what feels like echo chambers. With Redwood, it is refreshing to be around a diverse group of people in different sectors who all care about meaningful work and making the state better.”
