CCWA Opportunities for Young Professionals: Pogue Fellowship
CCWA welcomes young professionals to join us in exploring world affairs and citizen diplomacy! CCWA’s Richard W. Pogue Fellowship is one of the best ways for young professionals to dive deeper into the world's most pressing issues and engage directly with subject matter experts. It is also a fantastic opportunity to connect with local business, academic, and civic leaders.
RICHARD W. POGUE FELLOWSHIP
The Richard W. Pogue Fellowship consists of a complimentary membership in the Cleveland Committee on Foreign Relations (CCFR). CCFR is a members-only speaker forum that meets eight times a year with timely presentations from experts on foreign policy and geopolitical issues. These intimate dinner events allow for unprecedented access to experts and candid discussions about the events and people creating global news every day. CCFR’s audience consists of business, academic and civic leaders from Northeast Ohio. CCFR programs include a reception, the speaker’s off-the-record presentation, and dinner with thought-provoking conversation with other members.
In addition, fellows will enjoy access to other CCWA members-only programming and complimentary admission to all of CCWA's Foreign Policy Forums. There will also be a welcome reception and orientation to help our fellows understand how to make the most of their experience.
Eligibility: The fellowship is intended to engage early to mid-career professionals in world affairs. Applicants must be under the age of 40 at the time of the application deadline. Applicants must have the ability to attend fellowship programming in downtown Cleveland and must commit to participating in all eight CCFR programs.
