James H. Gilliam, Sr. Fellowship

About

Cultivating Exceptional Leaders Ready to Serve in All Communities

The James H. Gilliam, Sr. Fellows program was created to prepare the next generation of leaders to excel in all areas including: business, government, community, and academics.

During this 6-month immersive fellowship, our Fellows gain knowledge and experience in policy research and coalition building and learn to navigate Delaware’s political and economic arenas from a host of legislators, community advocates, and business leaders from across the state.
