Date
Sep. 07, 2017
Duration
15 months
Description
The Corporation will support a customized seven-week Fellowship for twelve individuals from the Middle East and 9 individuals from South Asia. Eisenhower Fellows from the Middle East and South Asia (MESA) will travel throughout the United States, stopping in eight to ten cities (two to three meetings per day), and meet with industry professionals in their fields of interest. The MESA Fellows are mid-career leaders from all sectors: government, business, civil society, the sciences, health care, the arts and journalism. Each Fellow is required to develop a project that they will implement when they return to their home countries; a prominent theme of their current action is The Future of Work. Year’s fellows will join the impressive network of Eisenhower Fellows already active in the region, and gain access to networks of Corporation-supported experts.
