The Arizona Center for Civil Leadership recently announced that 27 new leaders would join its Flinn-Brown Fellowship, considered one of Arizona's most prestigious leadership programs specializing in state policy and politics, according to the Flinn Foundation.
Through the fellowship, members of the 14th cohort will bring together different political perspectives, experiences and policy interests that will serve in both the private and public sectors across various businesses and industries, government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
"The Arizona Center for Civic Leadership (@AZCivicLeads) at @FlinnFoundation is excited to introduce our 2022 Flinn-Brown Fellows, 27 leaders who will participate in Arizona’s most prestigious leadership program on state policy and politics. #2022FlinnBrown," the AZ Center for Civil Leadership said in a tweet.
The 2022 fellows come from nine different Arizona counties, including the first Flinn-Brown fellow from La Paz County. Nearly half of the group is from outside the Phoenix area, including Flagstaff, Page, Prescott, Quartzsite, Saint David, San Tan Valley, Sonoita, Tucson and Yuma.
“Flinn-Brown is a chance for these professionals to learn from our state’s top experts," said Dawn Wallace, Flinn Foundation vice president for civic leadership, according to the Flinn Foundation. "They’ll also build friendships and networks that will advance their understanding of policy and the political landscape — and provide the support they need to become impactful civic leaders throughout Arizona."
Members of the Fellowship are given admittance to the Flinn-Brown Academy, a 12-session policy institute that brings rigorous learning about Arizona policy and politics, in addition to connections with top state leaders and policy experts.
"A huge thank you to our #2022FlinnBrown Selection Committee, which carefully reviewed applications, conducted two days of interviews, & built an outstanding cohort of 27 Arizona leaders — the 2022 #FlinnBrown Fellows," said the AZ Center for Civil Leadership in a tweet.
