Greater St. Louis, Inc. is seeking applicants of color for their 2021-2022 leadership development program.
The St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative’s Fellows Experience leadership program is part of Greater St. Louis, Inc.’s Inclusive Business Solutions Initiative, according to a media release. The program focuses on developing multicultural and racially diverse business leaders and entrepreneurs.
“We are seeking mid-to senior-level professionals who want to develop their leadership and professional capabilities and capacity in a safe, open, collegial environment where they can not only learn, but also share their experiences, network and grow,” Rosalind Reese, fellows experience program director, wrote in the media release. “Our year-long program focuses on professional development, relationship building and civic engagement.”
Since 2006, approximately 900 fellows have graduated from the program with 70% being promoted within two years of the program.
To apply, applicants must have a minimum of seven years employment, community leadership experience and a college degree — or equivalent skills and capabilities. They must provide a current resume, a 200-word narrative that includes information not highlighted in their resume and a nomination form from their manager or company.
