Organization Name
Bell Socialization Services, Inc.
Fellowship Project
I was able to attend the Open Minds Executive Retreat for a week. Open Minds is a health and human services organization. I was also able to go to Montreal and visit with several homeless and disability service providers as well as have my family join me for some sightseeing, which had been a goal for me.
Organization Affiliation During Your Fellowship Year
Bell Socialization Services, Inc.
greatest impact of your fellowship year
I had recently transitioned into the executive director's role after working for Bell for over twenty years. I had doubts and questions about my ability. The York Federal Fellows has helped me to truly feel that I belong in this role. The project, the meetings and the fellowship, pun intended, are amazing!
Why would you recommend the York federal fellows program?
Because it provides an opportunity that most of us will not get on our own. The Fellows are a supportive and understanding group of leaders with a common set of values, goals, and perspectives.
