The recommendations that you provide in this form will be reviewed by
our advisory committee: National Yearlong alumni who will help us develop an
overall strategic picture of candidates in a number of sectors.
This is your opportunity to recommend leaders in your circle that need
to be in LIO right now to shape a movement for change and create a radically
inclusive, equitable, and accessible society.
Please do not inform the candidate(s) that they have been nominated or recommended for the program. We request this to minimize disappointment given the highly intentional nature of the recruitment/curation process. If we decide to move forward your nominee, we will contact you.
Strong candidates demonstrate:
- A strong commitment to the cross-movement vision
of the program
- A high degree of personal maturity
- Well-honed communication and interpersonal
skills
- A senior executive role, typically Executive Directors, CEOs, and Presidents, with a national emphasis
- Position and credibility as a leader within
social change
- A platform to affect social change on a national
level
- A good match for the Rockwood approach which
asks for a high degree of courageous self-reflection and willingness to be
vulnerable in a group of peers
Other factors will include diversity in terms of social identity,
geography, and change strategy.
Please contact lio@rockwoodleadership.org
if you have any questions.
Many thanks for your continued support of the LIO Fellowship.
Warm regards,
Darlene Nipper, CEO
