Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows

The Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows (SELF) program is a highly selective, unique experience designed to expand and deepen understanding of leadership and oneself as a leader, connect and learn with others, and inspire initiative for positive impact.
