Fellowship Class of 2016-2018
ZERO TO THREE is pleased to present our 2016-2018 ZERO TO THREE Fellows!
Our new Fellows are 15 accomplished professionals whom were selected through a rigorous review process and represent a diversity of disciplines, sectors, backgrounds, and geographic locations.
They bring to the fellowship the passion, will, and influence to advance change in programs, systems, and policies that positively impact the well-being of infants, toddlers, and their families. Each Fellow has a specific vision for change in their professional context that will be accomplished through innovative thinking, collaboration, and partnerships across roles, disciplines, and sectors. The fellowship experience will provide dynamic and challenging opportunities for the Fellows to grow professionally and personally by expanding their knowledge, strengthening skills, broadening their perspective, and establishing lifelong, rewarding relationships.
