The White House Fellowship Program

A

message from AAIDD:

This

message has been received from the White House and I would like to share it

with you since many of you are aware of talented young professionals who

may be interested in this program.

President

Obama and Mrs. Obama would like your help to encourage talented leaders

with disabilities to apply to the White House Fellows program.

Obviously,

we are committed to inclusion of people with disabilities but we need you

all to spread the word and help identify qualified candidates.

Please

very carefully review the type of candidate that should apply to this type

of program.

The

White House Fellowship is one of the nation's most prestigious programs for

leadership and public service. Each year, 11-19 exceptional young men

and women are selected to spend a year in Washington, D.C. to gain

first-hand experience in the process of governing the nation at the highest

levels of the Federal government.

Candidates

need to be promising young leaders who are excelling early in their careers

and are committed to leadership and public service. Thus, this is not

for students but rather for individuals already into their careers.

Here

is a Letter

from President and First Lady Obama . Please share this message

with qualified applicants and/or organizations in your network that can

help identify such candidates.
