FPN's Florida Philanthropy Fellows Program will
immerse people new to the field of philanthropy in a year-long
experience of personal inquiry and discovery that will build your
self-awareness as a professional and as a philanthropic leader.
Through readings, webinars, interaction with seasoned philanthropic
leaders and in-depth time together with your fellows cohort, you'll
gain new insights into your work, your field and your path forward
to achieve your personal and professional goals - all with a
distinct Florida focus and flavor. 
Participation in FPN's Florida Philanthropy
Fellows Program is open to people working in Florida's philanthropy
field in any type of staff or board position for any type of
grantmaking organization (including community foundations, private
independent foundations, private family foundations, public charity
grantmakers and corporate foundations or corporate giving programs).
Participants will typically have less than five years' experience in
the philanthropy field but will have been in the field long enough
to have the appropriate context for their work (typically at least
one year). 
Serving as co-facilitators of FPN's Florida
Philanthropy Fellows Program will be Maggie Osborn, vice president
of FPN, and Mark Sedway, founder of Sedway Associates and director
of the Philanthropy Awareness Initiative (PAI). Osborn has extensive
experience in providing training, coaching and professional support
for nonprofit organizations and nonprofit and philanthropic leaders.
Through his work with PAI and his own consulting practice, Sedway
brings a broad and deep understanding of philanthropy, and has
written reports, made presentations and conducted trainings for a
variety of audiences in the philanthropy world. Joining Osborn and
Sedway at the Kick-Off Retreat and other fellows programs will be
various seasoned leaders in Florida's philanthropy field as well as
national experts on key leadership topics to be covered in the
program.
