ABOUT EISENHOWER FELLOWSHIPS THE FELLOWSH

Introduction In 1953, to celebrate President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first birthday in the White House, a group of businessmen founded an international leadership program in honor of his devotion to world peace. Its purpose and design reflect his conviction that greater understanding among individuals fosters greater understanding among nations, contributing to the peace and progress of all countries and all people. Eisenhower Fellowships (EF) was established as a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nongovernmental organization and remains so to this day. An Eisenhower Fellowship is a transformational opportunity for exceptional men and women to reexamine, reenergize, and refocus their professional and leadership skills; set new goals; and pursue concrete results individually and collectively as part of a unique global network. More than 2,000 Fellows from 108 countries have participated in Eisenhower Fellowships since its founding. Each one carries forward President Eisenhower’s belief that informed and broad-minded individuals are the hope of every nation. Your international program is the beginning of lifelong participation in a network that has an ongoing impact on communities around the world. You are joining an active, closely connected group of men and women with the commitment, influence, and ingenuity to pursue their aspirations for a better world. Eisenhower Fellows are leaders of vision, role models with proven success in diverse fields of endeavor. In an increasingly interdependent world, Eisenhower Fellowships enables you to learn from one another’s best practices, and provides you with a permanent vehicle for effective and meaningful collaboration. More than 60 years later, Eisenhower Fellowships remains unique among international professional and leadership development programs. Unlike any other experience of its kind, the fellowship offers all Fellows a customized program that reflects each person’s particular professional interests and ideas. We encourage you to embrace this experience and share in the creation of a program that transports you beyond your day-to-day concerns, and helps propel you and your ideas to the forefront of your chosen field. This manual will familiarize you with the policies and procedures of Eisenhower Fellowships, and contains essential information that you should review carefully and completely. Please do not hesitate to contact anyone at EF with additional questions you may have. Congratulations on your fellowship!

FUNDING AND CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP NDING AND CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP Eisenhower Fellowships is a 501(c) (3) non-governmental organization. The annual operating budget is funded through a number of revenue sources. The majority of EF’s revenue comes from corporations, foundations and individuals. Earnings from private and public endowments account for the remaining annual income. Corporations contribute sponsorship funds to support worldwide activities and specific programs. Foundations (including corporate foundations) also support EF activities, often providing funding for single region programs in areas where they have program interests or special initiatives. Individuals, trustees, Fellows and Fellow associations donate funds to support the mission of promoting professional exchange and international understanding. Some of Eisenhower Fellowships’ sponsors arrange to meet Fellows during their fellowship travels, offering a unique opportunity for Fellows to exchange views on issues of mutual interest with top business executives and NGO leaders.

4 EF PROGRAMS THE PROGRAMS Eisenhower Fellowships currently operates six distinct programs, distinguished by Fellows’ country of origin and/or professional interest.

International Programs Each spring, EF runs the Multi Nation Program (MNP). It includes 20-25 Fellows from around the world, representing a variety of professional fields. In the fall, EF runs one of two different programs. Through the Single Region Program (SRP), EF gathers 20-25 Fellows from one specific part of the world, such as Southeast Asia or the Middle East. The Common Interest Program (CIP) invites 20-25 Fellows with a common professional interest. Programs have focused on women’s leadership, urbanization, energy and innovation.

Destinations include: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, China (Taiwan), Finland, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, and Uruguay

USA Programs

FALL PROGRAMS 1986 – Philippines 1987 – Republic of Korea 1988 – Argentina 1989 – Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland 1990 – Indonesia 1991 – Poland 1992 – The Czech Republic and Slovakia 1993 – Turkey 1994 – South Africa 1996 – Brazil 1997 – China 1998 – Spain 1999 – China 2000 – India 2001 – Russia 2002 – Southeast Asia 2004 – North Asia 2005 – Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Saudi Arabia 2006 – China, China (Taiwan), Japan and Korea 2007 – Challenges of Urbanization 2008 – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay 2009 – Fueling Growth 2010 – Women’s Leadership Program 2011 – Northeast Asia Regional Program 2012 – South Asia Regional Program 2013 – Southeast Asia Regional Program 2014 – Innovation Program 2015 – Women’s Leadership Program

The USA Program sends nine U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents abroad at various times throughout the year. Their fellowship programs are often supported by Fellows who participated in one of the international programs. While the USA Program originally focused recruitment in four regions – Philadelphia, North Carolina’s Research Triangle area, New England, and St. Louis, MO – it has since expanded its scope nationwide. The USA Agriculture Program selects one active U.S. farmer or rancher each year to participate in a five-week fellowship focused on issues related to industrial agriculture production and leadership.

In the fall of 2015, EF and the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE) jointly launched the Zhi-Xing China Eisenhower Fellowship. Ten U.S. leaders travel together to China each year for four weeks, starting in Beijing and finishing in Shanghai, with two weeks of individualized programming in other cities.

PREPARING FOR YOUR FELLOWSHIP PARING FOR YOUR FELLOWSHIP

Your Fellowship will be individually designed based on your interests, background and objectives. Our intention is to give you a broad perspective on trends in your field(s) in the country or countries you are visiting, opportunities to exchange ideas with leading professionals, and specific information on how individual practitioners are managing change and development. To enrich the experience, appointments encompass diverse geographic settings; encourage exposure to public, private and NGO leaders; and embrace varied perspectives. Your Fellowship presents an unparalleled opportunity that cannot be fully realized without a clear commitment from you of time and attention – especially before the program begins.

Meetings with experts in your professional field form the core of your program. They will provide you with the opportunity to exchange ideas and information; discuss methods of operation; and gain insights on policy questions, implementation procedures, management practices, and other issues of significance in your field. The meetings will also serve as an opportunity for your counterparts around the world to learn about trends and developments in your subject area and in the U.S.

You can expect to four to five cities over the course of the fellowship (depending upon whether you travel to one or two countries) and to attend two to three appointments on most business days. These meetings are typically conducted in interview style and last approximately one hour. In some instances, you may have the opportunity for a site visit, which allows for more in-depth observation and inquiry and usually lasts longer. Your program officer (PO) will choose people for you to meet based upon your interest area and the knowledge of the person you are meeting. Where you have your own personal contacts or connections to local organizations, you can set up your own meetings/appointments and communicate these plans to the local coordinator. Please note: EF does not arrange protocol, ceremonial, celebrity visits, or meetings with the explicit purpose to conduct business or seek funding. As part of your fellowship program, you will continue to develop and refine the project outlined in your original application. As you interact with leaders in your field and collaborate with Eisenhower Fellows both in your cohort and throughout the EF network, you will further your project concept and objectives. Your program officer will help you to connect with the people and institutions who will best contribute to your ultimate outcomes, including your project goals. You are encouraged to communicate with your colleagues at home to advise them of your impending time away and to engage their support of your fellowship leave. However, while it is good to keep in touch with your friends and colleagues while on fellowship, do not commit to maintaining your regular workload while you are away, and do not leave colleagues with the expectation that you will simply be telecommuting and available when needed.

6

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

You will be assigned a program officer (PO) at EF who will work closely with you to plan and implement your fellowship. A program coordinator in-country will also help to design the program, as well as organize local logistical and travel arrangements. You will begin to work with your PO approximately two months before the fellowship begins. We strongly encourage you to be proactive in the planning of your program. The content, depth, and ultimate outcomes of your fellowship program will directly reflect the amount of planning and preparation you invest in collaboration with your PO prior to your travel. Your PO will depend upon you to explain clearly your background, your subject area expertise, and your fellowship goals. Be sure to provide your PO with full information about your current and anticipated responsibilities, and how they connect to your fellowship objectives. This information will help your PO understand what you seek and need from your program and itinerary in terms of subject matter and geographical diversity; identify organizations and individuals to visit; and will enable “Fellows should do their own your PO to create the best program possible. research about the institutions You may also find it useful to connect with other Eisenhower Fellows in and individuals they are the U.S. and around the world before your fellowship begins. EF staff interested in meeting.” will provide you with access to our worldwide Directory of Fellows and make any introductions to Fellows as needed. “Preparation is the key… Make time to prepare to ensure you reap the full benefits.” Timeline & Responsibilities Pre-Fellowship Three months before arrival

“I would have devoted more time in advance to preparing for the trip, and gotten more involved in selling me!”

1. Create one-page biography. Your PO will draft this bio for your review, based on your application and additional information you provide. The bio is an essential document that describes your professional background and your fellowship goals to the people and organizations you might visit. POs use the bio to introduce you to those with whom you hope to meet. It should reflect your past and present interests as specifically, accurately, and completely as possible. We suggest that you limit your fellowship to no more than two well-defined topics that are neither too narrow nor too broad in scope, so that you can explore them in-depth over two weeks on travel. 2.

Write a letter of introduction for each country. This letter will accompany your one-page bio with requests for appointments. It should explain your interest and inform the recipient of what you specifically hope to gain from meeting with them.

3. Create EF business cards. All Fellows receive business cards from Eisenhower Fellowships for use on your travels, in addition to your regular business card.

7

4. Research an expanded program design. Using the program design section of your application as a guide, your PO will work with you to identify additional relevant organizations and individuals. We suggest that you consult with colleagues and professional associations for potential ideas. Include organizations as well as names of individuals you wish to meet (if you have them), specific purposes of each visit, questions you plan to pose at the meeting, and relevant contact information. You are encouraged to tap into your own network of contacts to get ideas and to facilitate introductions to people you may want to meet while on fellowship.

Two months before arrival 1. POs reserve Fellows’ international flights. 2. PO sends preliminary program itinerary to Fellow; Fellow provides feedback. Your PO will use the program design you included in your fellowship application, in conjunction with advice from experts in the field and both in-house and online resources to develop a proposed itinerary. This itinerary will outline travel dates and destinations and proposed meetings or other professional activities. From this point forward, you and your PO will communicate regularly. Your feedback is essential to inform your PO and to clarify your fellowship objectives. At the same time, it is important to keep an open and flexible mind to suggestions that your PO provides. POs are highly experienced in partnering with Fellows from diverse fields to construct substantial and rounded programs, and will provide valuable suggestions and recommendations. Your Eisenhower Fellowship is a once-in-alifetime opportunity. We encourage you to remain open to trying new experiences. One month before arrival POs and Fellows continue to revise and refine the program itinerary. To allow sufficient time to arrange your schedule, your PO will need to have your appointment requests well in advance of your arrival. Your PO will be well along in securing and scheduling appointments by the time you arrive in the U.S. At the same time, additional ideas for appointments will surface while you are in the U.S. Your fellowship itinerary is dynamic and will continue to develop and change even after your arrival.

THE FELLOWSHIP EXPERIENCE

I. Opening Seminar In collaboration with the opening of our Multi Nation Program in April, you will participate in a three-day orientation seminar. This will allow you to learn more about Eisenhower Fellowships and will give you the opportunity to connect with international Fellows and the other 2015 USA Fellows. Upon arrival in Philadelphia, each Fellow receives a key to the Eisenhower Fellowships House. The custom dates back to the earliest years of the program when international Fellows spent several weeks in Philadelphia. Fellows keep their keys and are encouraged to think of the house as a home base in the Philadelphia area.

II. Fellowship Travel Your PO aims to provide, on average, two professional appointments per day, Monday through Friday, between regular working hours of 9am and 5pm. EF also includes some evening social events with trustees, sponsors and Fellows around the country. If you wish to make your own appointments as well, you must coordinate with your PO to avoid scheduling conflicts. We build into your program sufficient time for travel, preparation, reflection and follow-up after your appointments. Your PO will also work to leave time in your schedule to add meetings suggested by individuals you’ve met to maximize your experience on fellowship. Flexibility is an essential component of the fellowship experience. Although your PO’s goal is to have your schedule set in advance, invariably some meetings will only be confirmed shortly before they are to take place and other previously unplanned meetings will be scheduled based on suggestions you’ve received. Once an appointment has been set, there is a ‘no cancellation’ policy. Scheduled meetings are commitments that you are obliged to respect. After the itinerary has been confirmed and appointments made, changes and cancellations without notice can undermine the efforts of your PO, reflect badly on you and on Eisenhower Fellowships, and may be perceived as an affront to individuals and institutions who have offered their time and support.

III. Closing Seminar - Annual Meeting Day Closing Seminar is designed to allow Fellows to share fellowship insights, crystallize outcomes that Fellows expect to pursue, and solicit Fellows’ ideas on how they can be effective lifelong Fellows. It is an opportunity to discuss the fellowship experience with colleagues in a seminar setting. USA Fellows are required to attend a post-fellowship Annual Meeting Day in May 2017 in Philadelphia. The seminars coincide with the conclusion of Eisenhower Fellowships’ spring program and offer the opportunity to meet, collaborate and present final reports along with these international leaders. During this closing, you will also have the opportunity to participate in a roundtable discussion with the Chairman of Eisenhower Fellowships, currently General Colin Powell, USA (Ret.). You will also make a short presentation to other Fellows and EF staff about your fellowship experience and outcomes.

GENERAL FELLOWSHIP POLICIES OGISTICS AND FINANCES 

Please note that all fellowship travel must take place during the calendar year for which you are selected. For 2016 USA Fellows, you may travel anytime between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.



Your fellowship period can range between four and five weeks (minimum of 28 nights; maximum of 35 nights).

I. Airline and Other Travel International Travel Eisenhower Fellowships arranges and pays for one round-trip economy class ticket for you and your spouse. We cannot cover a business class ticket, although you are welcome to upgrade the ticket and pay the difference, when possible. EF also does not cover excess or overweight baggage fees for international travel. If Fellows choose to split their fellowship into two segments, they are responsible for the cost of one of the international round-trip tickets (the less expensive one). To control the cost of international travel, we ask that you reserve your round-trip travel six weeks in advance of departure. At that time, EF will price out the cost of your travel and use that amount for reimbursement (if you are purchasing business class tickets, which EF cannot itself purchase due to government regulations). If you choose to purchase your tickets less than six weeks prior to travel, just be aware that although the ticket price might increase, the reimbursement price will not. For those flying economy class, you will be liable for any excess cost over the six-week estimate. Domestic Airline or Rail Travel Your PO will reserve and pay for all domestic economy-class travel by plane or train, as appropriate. You are responsible for any excess or overweight baggage fees. Where necessary, EF also pays for car rentals. Sometimes car rental agencies will not allow EF to pay remotely via its company credit card and you may be asked to pay for the car rental while in-country. This is an unavoidable inconvenience. You will be reimbursed 100% of this cost post-fellowship.

II. Hotels Your PO will make your reservations at reasonably-priced business class hotels and pay for all of these costs (excluding incidentals such as laundry and room service). When booking hotels, we do our best to use hotels that are in safe and central locations, and are close to your meeting locations. Every effort is made to book Fellows who are in the same city at the same hotel to facilitate socializing. In the event that you are invited to stay with a family member or friend in a destination city – or are being hosted by an Eisenhower Fellow – it is vital that your PO receive your hosts’ full contact information in advance. What to Pack! During your travels you may experience different climates. Depending upon your proposed itinerary, you may want to bring a range of both cold and warm weather clothing, including a coat and a hat. You should be prepared to wear business attire, which would include a jacket and tie for men, unless you know

11

that the culture of the organization does not require it. If there is an evening event, a dark business suit for men and a suit or dinner dress for women would be appropriate. Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended at all times, and casual clothes are practical for weekends. We recommend that you prepare and bring a brief PowerPoint presentation (3 or 4 slides) about your organization and your fellowship goals. You may want to bring it to meetings on your tablet or iPad. This can be useful, as opportunities to speak to groups may materialize during the course of your fellowship, or an individual may request further information about your work or organization. You may wish to bring a few small gifts for families with whom you stay, or for hosts who invite you over for dinner. We recommend that you limit your luggage to one medium-sized suitcase. EF does not pay excess baggage charges (for suitcases weighing over 22 kg or 50 lbs). When in doubt, pack light. You will need to do laundry while on fellowship (usually at the hotel), and can always purchase additional clothing as needed.

III. Participation of Spouses and Children Spouses/partners are invited as guests of Eisenhower Fellowships for the full program and are considered part of the Eisenhower Fellowships network. In order for Eisenhower Fellowships to cover the cost of travel for your spouse/partner, he/she must participate in at least two weeks of the fellowship. If spouses choose to divide their travel between two fellowship segments, EF will only pay for one economy-class ticket. It is expected that spouses/partners will follow the same travel itinerary as the Fellow in the destination country and will participate in social and cultural events as arranged by the host country program administrator. They are almost never invited to the professional appointments during the day, however – only to the after-hours social events. If your spouse/partner has a particular professional interest that he or she wishes to pursue, program administrators may be able to provide suggestions or possible contacts. Spouses are always invited to the events in Philadelphia with the other Fellows – opening seminar and Annual Day in the spring of 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Policy on Children Children are not allowed to travel with you on fellowship, regardless of age. You will have an intense travel schedule, which cannot accommodate children’s needs for attention and care. The fellowship involves not only appointments during the day but also evening activities and travel. We understand the hardship this separation can impose upon families. Occasionally, Fellows will schedule a short vacation just before or after the fellowship with their families to share the international experience with their children and spouses.

12

IV. Medical/Accident Insurance Eisenhower Fellowships provides medical insurance for you and your participating spouse for the fellowship period, purchased from International SOS. The policy also covers accidental death and dismemberment. You should also check to see whether your health insurance from home will cover you while you are in the U.S. Before departure you will be given a certificate of insurance, explanatory information, a claims form, and an identification card for you. Carry these documents at all times. EF will also provide you with information on local hospitals in the cities you will be visiting in the event of emergency. Most of the time, you will be asked to pay for medical care upfront. Eisenhower Fellowships will reimburse Fellows for the cost of vaccinations recommended for travelers to their country of Fellowship. Fellows are responsible for consulting with their physician or local travel clinic on the recommended vaccinations for their country of travel. The CDC website also has information: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list.Receipts must be submitted for reimbursement. Personal or Travellers’ Insurance Eisenhower Fellowships does not cover accidents such as lost luggage or theft. While the probability of this is slight, you may want to consider taking out personal insurance to protect luggage while traveling or staying in hotels.

FINANCES

I. Per Diem - Travel and Lodging For international travel EF will cover the cost of one round-trip economy-plus airline ticket for each Fellow and participating spouse (“Participate” means they will travel for at least two weeks. If they join the Fellow but travel less than the designated two weeks, EF cannot pay for their ticket or reimburse any spouse-related expenses.) When abroad, all domestic economy-class airline and train travel are paid for directly by EF or by the Fellow, using an EF/GSA credit card that Fellows are sent prior to travel. Fellows are responsible for any fees related to excess baggage weight. The hotel/lodging costs are paid for directly by EF via the GSA credit card. Fellows are responsible for incidentals, including room service, telephone calls/internet service and laundry. II. Per Diem – Meals & Incidentals (M&IE) “Meals and incidental expenses” refers to all expenditures including meals, in-city transportation and other general costs. In-city transportation includes taxis or public transportation. The allowance is sufficient to permit you to live modestly while abroad, covering the cost of reasonably priced meals and transportation. The daily rate is based on the U.S. Department of State Foreign Per Diem Rates by Location (the M&IE Rate in the example per diem chart at the end of this section, see also online at https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp ) You receive the per diem funds a few weeks prior to fellowship travel in the form of a personal check. If your fellowship program requires you, occasionally, to hire a local car and driver because other transportation options are not feasible, these costs are usually covered by EF. If a viable and more

13

affordable option is available but you still choose to hire a driver, the costs are generally the full responsibility of the Fellow. M&IE per diem does not cover the cost of mailing items home, entertainment, dry cleaning or personal shopping and gifts. You need to bring your personal credit card to cover these expenses or you can withdraw money in the local currency from ATMs at airports and other secure locations. We suggest that in advance of your trip you notify your bank and credit card companies of your travel plans. For your spouse/partner, provided they join you for at least two weeks of your fellowship, Eisenhower Fellowships will provide them with a $50/day stipend for meals. IV. Internet and Telephone Expenses Depending on where you travel, EF may or may not provide Fellows with smartphones for use incountry, including reasonable data and phone plans. EF does not cover the cost of international calls or data plans. For personal communications home, it is suggested you bring your own devices

IV. Interpretation EF and the local coordinator will arrange for all translation/interpretation services that are necessary for fellowship meetings and activities. All costs are covered by the program and Fellows should not incur any expenses for this service. If Fellows hire an interpreter and/or guide to accompany them during nonfellowship-related activities (free time on evenings or weekends), they are responsible for this cost. VI. Reimbursement If you incur significant expenses for any necessary Fellowship activities (e.g., visa application fee, Internet services, etc.), please submit receipts with a request for reimbursement to Shea Kirts ([email protected]) at EF. These expenses will be taken into account during the post-fellowship financial reconciliation.

FELLOWSHIP FEEDBACK REORTING AN EVALUATION To understand how the fellowship experience has impacted you, we ask you to participate in a three different activities that contribute to an informal assessment of your program. 1) Final Report or Fellowship Blog: You have a couple of options for reporting on your fellowship. The first would be a final report – some kind of reflective synthesis of 4-5 pages on what you experienced and learned on fellowship. It would be due about one week after your fellowship ended.

Most fellows choose the second option, to write a blog while you are traveling on fellowship. In this case, we ask that you try and write a few paragraphs about twice a week and post pictures. To set up the blog, we ask that you use Wordpress or Blogspot, (for free) to create a standalone place for your EF story. When you’ve got it set up, please share the address with EF and once you’ve blogged a few times, then we’ll share it with the greater EF community. 2) Project Presentation: During the Closing Seminar in Philadelphia, you will give a seven-minute presentation on your fellowship project and expected outcomes. The presentation should include a restatement of your project idea, a description of any evolution of your project idea over the course of the fellowship and how the fellowship experience informed your project idea and implementation strategy. Your presentation should also include your plans for implementation and the next steps that you plan to take. The presentations may be recorded. 3) Action Plan: The purpose of the action plan is to describe concrete outcomes that have resulted, or that you anticipate may result, from your fellowship program.

THE GLOBAL NETWORK

All Eisenhower Fellows are lifelong members of the EF network. This network is strong because of the commitment of the Fellows. You are highly encouraged to participate in any of the following ways: • collaborate with other Fellows across the network on projects of mutual interest/benefit • serve on steering committees to identify and select new fellow candidates • mentor new Fellows preparing to travel abroad • assist with conference or event planning • advise, assist or host international Fellows who visit your city or region • actively participate in regional Fellow associations • promote and publicize Eisenhower Fellowships in your hometown • refer to Eisenhower Fellowships during media interviews and add the Fellowship to your CV and LinkedIn profile Eisenhower Fellowships supports the network of Eisenhower Fellows by maintaining a network office to facilitate and promote Fellow activity. This includes maintaining a database containing Fellows’ contact information; providing programmatic, organizational and outreach efforts for Fellow-hosted conferences, seminars and other events; conveying news of Fellow activities and programs through the regularly updated EF website and newsletter; and connecting Fellows traveling to each other’s regions or for potential collaborations. The talent and perspective that you bring as a new Fellow make you a valuable addition to the network of Eisenhower Fellows around the world. We expect you to enjoy many years of fruitful and mutually rewarding global association.
