Fellows Program Alumni Reconnect and Dream Big

Last week, Ball Brothers Foundation hosted a lunch for alumni of the foundation’s Fellows Program. The Fellows program began in 2005 with the intention of providing local nonprofit leaders with a 9-month opportunity to read books and articles about nonprofit leadership and governance, to engage with BBF staff in dialogue about nonprofit work and foundation operations, and to promote foundation transparency. Two local nonprofit leaders are selected each year to participate in the program.

As of this year, 38 local leaders have participated in BBF’s Fellows program. While some Fellows have since left the community or moved on to new pursuits, upwards of twenty Fellows attended the lunch which was held at Minnetrista Museum and Gardens. Gathering the group together offered Fellows the chance to reconnect and share updates with one another about their current work. Ball Brothers Foundation President & CEO, Jud Fisher also provided an update on BBF’s grantmaking and new strategic plan.
