APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Application Process
Thanks for your interest in the Global Leadership Forum (GLF) — a program of in-depth reflection in a community of colleagues to promote personal and professional leadership growth. Cohort prorgrams take place in-person in Seattle, WA on a monthly basis over a six-month period.
There are two steps to apply for participation in a GLF cohort:
1) Complete the online application (preview of the application can be found here), and
2 ) Attend an info session or schedule a 30-minute conversation with a GLF team member. You may do the steps in the order of your choosing. To register for an info session or schedule an individual meeting, email [email protected].
Dates
Senior-level Cohort
Mid-career / Senior Cohort
Selection Criteria
GLF participants are recruited through direct invitation, referrals, self-nomination and requests for participation from aligned organizations and individuals.
Selection to a GLF cohort is based on:
Tuition
Tuition for cohorts is $3,250. This can be paid either by the cohort participant, their employer, or both. It is strongly encouraged that a participant's employer support their participation in the Global Leadership Forum, at least in part.
Tuition is due by the date of your first cohort meeting. If cost is a barrier, you are encouraged to apply. Payment plans and limited scholarships (maximum award of $1,625) are available for those with need, especially those who have been historically underrepresented in global development leadership including BIPOC, those with origins in the Global South, and folks from small to mid-sized organizations. The amount of scholarship available depends on the need in each cohort and we are willing to work with each cohort member to address their specific financial concerns.
For those who are able, paying the full tuition makes it possible for others with less systemic privilege and access to become full and participating members of our learning community.
Additional inquiries regarding the application process and requests for financial assistance can be sent to the GLF team at [email protected].
