ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The RISE Executive Felllowship Program is a part-time, cohort-based experience designed to strengthen personal and professional leadership while fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual support. The program focuses on building networks of executives who lift each other, lead transformational change, and apply strategic resource management to advance organizational and community impact.

Guided by accomplished leaders and experts, participants engage in immersive workshops, virtual instruction, mentorship, and applied projects within their institutions and communities. Each cohort develops both the capacity and the connections to drive meaningful change, ensuring that leaders not only rise individually, but rise together.

CEI PROJECTS

The Community Engagement Initiatives are projects designed to build trust, create shared value, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. Each year, participants and alumni collaborate with local leaders, organizations, and residents on projects that matter, from resource drives and neighborhood improvement efforts to community events and networking opportunities.

These initiatives connect people to one another, foster meaningful partnerships, and ensure that the impact of RISE extends into the neighborhoods we serve.

Why This Matters

The RISE Executive Leadership Program goes beyond individual growth. It builds a network of leaders committed to lifting each other and strengthening the communities they serve. By getting involved, executives gain access to transformative leadership development, mentorship, and strategic insights while contributing their own experience to a collaborative network.

Participation matters because it creates a ripple effect: stronger leaders build stronger organizations, and stronger organizations build stronger communities. 

Together, we rise.
