We are pleased to announce the second year of the American Express NGen Fellows Program, which builds the capacity of 12 under-40 professionals from IS member organizations to shape the future of the nonprofit community. Completed applications are due March 29.
NGen fellows will enjoy a series of exceptional opportunities over the course of nine months, including collaborating with other under-40 leaders, interacting with established mentors, and contributing to IS’s work on nonprofit impact and leadership. Independent Sector will host the 12 fellows at our D.C. offices for a kick-off event in late August, and they will receive complementary registration and lodging to take part in the IS Annual Conference in Atlanta, October 20-22. These experiences will culminate in a six-month group project that advances their leadership skills and contributes to the ability of emerging leaders to collaborate on sector-wide issues.
American Express NGen Fellows will be selected from under-40 staff at IS member organizations. The IS website provides details about the fellows program, including how to apply. Applications are due by March 29, 2010.
The American Express NGen Fellows Program enhances IS’s NGen: Moving Nonprofit Leaders from Next to Now program, which is designed to deepen the nonprofit talent pool by developing the leadership opportunities for and professional networks of emerging leaders. Independent Sector developed the fellows program last year to recognize that the leaders we need tomorrow are already making important contributions today. The inaugural fellows are a diverse and accomplished group, drawn from a wide range of organizations. They continue to work on the collaborative project that is at the heart of the program, and the results will be shared with the nonprofit community soon.
The American Express NGen Fellows Program offers dedicated young professionals a rare opportunity to magnify their impact and accelerate their careers. We encourage you to apply today or nominate an outstanding young leader at your own or another IS member organization.

I like Home Makeover. And, I like adding free architectural, landscaping and decorating assistance with the loan to help homeowners choose high-impact investments and maximize the fixed costs of bringing a contractor out. Geneva, NY offers free arch…
Thanks Vince. At this time, I know non-profits do not have access to RD's loan origination software, UniFi. I'm not sure how much we've discussed the issues of access to CAIVRS in the 502 course.
