JLF’s Leadership Initiative

Under the direction of Karen Palasek, Director of Academic and Educational Programs,
JLF recently launched the E.A. Morris Fellowship for Emerging Leaders, a
statewide leadership-training program.  The program, underwritten
by the E.A. Morris Charitable Foundation and the John William Pope
Foundation, encourages committed, diverse, and principled North
Carolinians to pursue leadership roles in their professions and
community.  Applications are available, highlighting the program’s
use of retreats, seminars and conferences that culminate in a
presentation of a community leadership project created by each
fellow.
