Fellowship Announcement: Asia Pacific Leadership Program at East-West Center in Hawaii

We are writing to inform you about a Fellowship opportunity at the East-West Center. The Center is announcing fellowships for its respected Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP) and I am writing to you personally to request your assistance in identifying potential candidates for the 2012 - 2013 class.  Now in its 11th year at the East-West Center, the APLP has created a network of 400 dynamic leaders in 53 countries throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The 40 participants selected each year have strong leadership experience or exhibit high leadership potential.  All participants have at least a bachelor’s degree and most have a master’s degree.  APLP participants come from virtually all Asia Pacific countries and a tremendous range of professional backgrounds (for example, science, business, development, politics, government, civil society, medicine, religious orders, art, finance, academia, and research).  The age of participants ranges from mid-20s to mid-40s, with an average age of 32.  Peer learning between participants and alumni is a centerpiece of program design.

Applications for the 2012 - 2013 cohort, also known as Generation 12, are now being accepted.  The priority application deadline for the 2012
- 2013 APLP class will be December 1, 2011.  This is about two weeks away and so time is getting tight.  Applications mailed by that date will receive a decision no later than March 1st, 2012.  Applications sent after December 1, 2011, will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.
