The Local Government Management Fellowship program continues to provide a groundbreaking career entry opportunity for fellows and provides communities with impactful change. Over the past 20 years, the program has generated 425 fellows, more than 35 who have taken on a chief or assistant chief administrative officer role, and alums who have continued a mentorship cycle through hosting fellows. This record demonstrates that the program continues to meet the designed goals, with the added bonus that the fellows themselves have made a substantial impact in the communities they have served and have demonstrated the importance of investing in career development. Featured in this article are some of those fellows and the impact they’ve made in the community they served, as well as their advice to those looking for a management-track opportunity like the LGMF!
