Nominations

Accomplished Connecticut leaders are nominated to become Fellows, and Fellowship organizers work to build cohorts that are likely to advance the mission of the Redwood Fellowship.

The Founding Cohort of Fellows is assembled. Fellows will nominate a second cohort later in 2025.

Each cohort of Fellows nominates the next cohort based on three criteria:

• Accomplishment as leaders advancing transformational work that directly impacts Connecticut;

• Diversity as individuals, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, geographic location, life experience, political beliefs, and professional focus; and

• Contribution to the broader community composition (e.g., in order to establish trust within the community, considerations including pre-existing relationships matter in determining Fellow nominees).
