What David Rockefeller Fellow Alumni Have to Say About the Program
“The DR Fellows program opened my eyes to the broad array of public policy challenges New York City leaders face. As I became more familiar with the challenges, I also became more determined than ever to dedicate my career to those challenges.”
“The Fellows Program gave me direct and substantive experience in how New York City government serves its diverse population. It has reinvigorated my interest in city politics and has motivated me to be an active and engaged leader.”
“The opportunity to hear Howard Rubenstein, Shelly Lazarus, Terry Lundgren and Chancellor Joel Klein speak candidly about their experiences and their love for New York City inspired me. Each provided a different roadmap for how to accomplish things as a leader in business and in the very complicated and competitive environment of the city.”
“The Partnership’s credibility with top government and business executives has provided a halo to the Fellows, expanding both our access and ability to influence the leadership of New York. Given the personal and professional demands on our time, the Fellowship offers a rare chance to develop intimate relationships with a dynamic group of peers, each committed to sharing their knowledge and relationships with the other Fellows. The shared experiences create bonds that transcend the formal bounds of the program.”
