Vanguard
Executive Crisis Leaders Fellowship An executive network focused on disruptive changes and crisis
leadership "Our
field is undergoing immense change, but one thing remains constant: our
unending commitment to the people we serve. We’re facing greater
risks and a changing society, which means our
role is evolving. As we move into the future, we’re going to need to
leverage all the lessons we’ve learned... lessons of connectivity, creativity,
and most of all, adaptability." FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell At
the Forefront of Crisis Leadership
Today’s executive leaders face a level of complexity,
interconnectivity, uncertainty, and volatility far beyond anything seen
before. Leading in this environment requires integrative thinking, advanced
problem solving, predictive analysis, and coordinated communication spanning
all levels of the government, the private sector, policymakers,
practitioners, and communities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Emergency Management
Institute’s (EMI) Vanguard Executive Crisis Leaders Fellowship is a two-week,
senior-level leadership program focused on disruptive changes in
emergency management and crisis leadership. Through a series of focused
discussions with top experts and peers, participants will engage in seminars,
site visits with crisis leadership experts, and roundtable sessions to
discuss and debate the challenges we share as crisis leaders and move the needle
towards improving personal and collective preparedness. Who Should Apply The Vanguard Executive
Crisis Leaders Fellowship is designed for senior executives and proven crisis
leaders with 15+ years of crisis leadership or emergency management
experience from government, academia, non-governmental, philanthropic, and
private sectors. Ideal candidates are executive level leaders responsible for
operational and strategic decision-making in crisis OR individuals with
