Isle leader program
seeks applicants
The charitable community service organization Fund for the Pacific Century is accepting applications for its Pacific Century Fellows Program.
The program, modeled after the White House Fellows Program, is designed to recognize and encourage Hawaii's future leaders.
The nine-month program is open to 25 promising individuals in the community who are in their mid-20s to early 40s. The fellows will be selected by a committee based on their ability to set and achieve goals, leadership qualities, and volunteer and civic activities.
The fellows will first participate in a two-day retreat and will meet monthly at all-day seminars focusing on a particular subject, such as the environment, defense, economic development or health care.
Individual companies can sponsor candidates for the program. The cost is $1,500 for expenses.
Applications are available online at www.pacificcenturyfellows.org or by calling 478-2467. The deadline to apply is Aug. 15.
