Admissions Policy*
Each year, IWF selects a geographically, culturally, ethnically, and professionally diverse group of up to 45 leaders who are 4-8 years from the C-Suite (or equivalent level or title in their field). IWF seeks candidates that demonstrate:
- A track record as a change agent within their organization and community
- Ambition to push to the highest levels of their career and demonstrated desire to lift others as they rise
- Substantive professional/work experience and significant direct accomplishments
- Strength of character, motivation, and commitment to goals
- Superior intellectual ability and interpersonal intelligence
- Capacity to both contribute to and gain from the Leadership Fellows Program
- Commitment to participate fully in all program activities and training components including completion of a Legacy Project to extend program benefits to the sponsoring organization or community
* While designed for women leaders (and likely most beneficial to those who identify as such), the program is open to all who otherwise fulfill the admissions criteria.
