Pacific Century Fellows chooses participants


Advertiser Staff

More than 30 men and women from across the state have been chosen for the 12th class of the Pacific Century Fellows program that aims to develop and strengthen Island leaders.

Modeled after the White House Fellows Program and founded in 1996 by Mufi Hannemann, the Pacific Century Fellows program chooses participants based on their educational background, career responsibilities, achievements, comments from superiors, involvement in community activities, communication skills and strength of character, according to a release from the organization.

Fellows are generally in the early and mid-stages of their careers, and have "demonstrated potential to make significant contributions to the community in the future."

The program begins with a retreat April 9 to 10, featuring seminars and discussions.

"Following the retreat, participants will help plan their agenda and schedule for the upcoming year and take part in at least one day-long program each month to investigate critical issues facing Hawaii in such areas as crime, education, environment, quality of life, the military, and the economy," according to the release.
