The Leadership Fellows Program dedicates itself to this vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2011, the Leadership Fellows program has welcomed cohorts of clergy and laity pairs who have covenanted together and journeyed through this two-year curriculum, each person working with an individual coach to help process creative ideas and reactions to the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, we are announcing a new timeline. Instead of beginning their two-year commitment in January,&nbsp;<strong>our next cohort will begin in the fall, with a brief orientation in August and the first session in September.<\/strong>&nbsp;This means our new cohort&nbsp;will follow the appointment cycle, thus reducing the number of times clergy might be reappointed during the two-year commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clergy or laity who are interested in being a part of this next cohort should reach out to Leah Wiebe-Smith (<a href=\"mailto:lwiebesmith@nccumc.org?subject=I%27m%20interested%20in%20Fellows!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lwiebesmith@nccumc.org<\/a>).
