Regional Finalists for the 2008-2009 White House Fellowships
WASHINGTON, March 3, 2008 - The White House today announced that 97 outstanding men and women from across the country have been selected as Regional Finalists for the White House Fellows Program - the Nation's most prestigious program for leadership and public service. This year's Regional Finalists come from 26 states, as well as the District of Columbia. They represent a broad cross-section of professions, including technology, education, health care, state government, engineering, business, consulting, law and the non-profit sector. Additionally, five branches of the military are represented among the Regional Finalists. A complete list of the Regional Finalists is attached below.
During March and April 2008, Regional Finalists participate in a rigorous interview process. Based on the results of the interviews, approximately thirty candidates will be named National Finalists. The President's Commission on White House Fellowships will interview the National Finalists in June 2008 and then recommend candidates to President George W. Bush for a one-year appointment as White House Fellows.
The White House Fellows Program was founded in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This non-partisan program offers exceptional men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the Federal government. Fellows also participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions with renowned leaders from the private and public sectors. Following the Fellowship year, Fellows are expected to repay the privilege by contributing to the Nation as better leaders and public servants.
Selection as a White House Fellow is highly competitive and based on a record of remarkable professional achievement early in one's career, evidence of leadership potential, a proven commitment to public service, and the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute successfully at the highest levels of the Federal government. Throughout its history, the program has fostered leaders in many fields including Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, United Nations Foundation President and Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, U.S. Army General Wesley Clark, U.S. Senator Samuel Brownback, Congressman Joe Barton, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, TV Medical Correspondent, and Marshall Carter, Chairman, New York Stock Exchange.
