The 25
As a leadership development program The 25 strives to find opportunities for students to put the skills they are learning into practice. Initially, all students serve on a committee to help steer some aspect of The 25. Being part of a committee gives students the opportunity to help shape The 25 while learning valuable personal and professional skills that will be an asset on any future team they are part of. Beginning the student’s sophomore year they have the opportunity to apply for a role on The 25 Leadership Council. Council members each lead a committee of their peers and help the Executive Director of The 25 with overall planning and direction when it comes to the cohort community experience.
The Executive Committee
Affectionately known as the “first five” these five women are the reason The 25 came to be. What started with a discussion on the future of women in philanthropy, blossomed into an opportunity to pour into the next generation of female leaders. Members of the executive committee have personally made a commitment to support the program financially, and have served as mentors, speakers, field trip hosts, and much more. The Executive Committee now meets quarterly to help shape the direction of the program and to insure the program is financially stable.
