Meet the Fellows
El Pomar Fellows come to the program with a variety of educational and professional experiences and go on to pursue advanced degrees and careers in all sectors. While with El Pomar, Fellows provide valuable support for the Foundation’s programs and grant making efforts, while also participating in targeted leadership and professional development. First Year Fellows serve as Program Associates providing operational and administrative support to programs and funds. Second Year Fellows serve as Program Directors gaining peer management and program oversight responsibilities and experience.
