[Fredslist] New York Leaders: Empire State Fellows Program

[Adam Malitz]

Hello Gothamites,

A contact forwarded me this. Feel free to distribute. This was a general
posting--I cannot provide any placement assistance.


Governor Cuomo invites mid-career professionals interested in public
service to apply to the Empire State Fellows Program. The Empire State
Fellows Program is a full-time leadership training program that will
prepare the next generation of talented professionals for careers as New
York State policy-makers. The incoming class of Empire State Fellows will
serve from September 2013 to September 2015, and receive an annual salary
commensurate with experience, not to exceed $72,765, plus a generous
benefits package. At the end of the fellowship, a performance review
process will identify fellows that will be given the opportunity to
continue to serve as leaders in New York State government after completing
the program.

Governor Cuomo will appoint each Empire Fellow to work directly with a
Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, or other high-level policy maker. Work
assignments will offer Fellows unparalleled experience collaborating with
senior officials and participating in the policy-making process. While
taking part in the work of government, Empire Fellows will participate in
educational and professional development programs that will help them to
serve as effective and ethical government leaders.

 Applications for the Empire State Fellows Program are due April 12, 2013
by 11:59 p.m. The Empire State Fellows Program is designed to attract
