A year after the completion of the 16-month program, there is evidence that the impact was sustained.
Fellows reported greater job responsibilities in their organizations — 29 percent had received a
promotion, and another 37 percent had taken on additional duties. Further, 77 percent reported the
program increased their ability as a leader and 60 percent reported improvement in effectively engaging
in collaborative relationships to a great or very great extent one year after the program.
As an example, a supervisor reported that one Fellow is “increasingly able to facilitate interdisciplinary
solutions, break down barriers between disciplines by acknowledging unique contributions of each to
the team and helps others to recognize the same.”
