Fellows
NYC METRO AND VIRTUAL NATIONAL FELLOWS
The Economic Club of New York (ECNY) Fellows Program is a customized year-long program that introduces rising executives with great promise to thoughtful discussions and debates on the complex issues of the day, ranging from pressing economic, social, and political issues, public policy questions and corporate reporting issues to economic regulation and tech disruption, and much more. All Fellows must be sponsored by a Club Member in good standing.
The exclusive Fellows-only programming includes intimate events with prominent Executives who are Members of the Club who share their personal business insights in an open-discussion format, professional growth sessions, networking within the Fellows Class, and complimentary access to all virtual member events. NYC Fellows can network and enjoy attendance at three in-person Member Events including our major year-end event where a special table is reserved for them. NYC Fellows are also given the opportunity to pose the first question(s) to the Guest Speaker at the Club’s Breakfast Events.
Additional programming includes a Jeopardy competition, community volunteer opportunities, and the annual Innovation and Social Impact Challenge. At the end of the program, the Fellows are recognized by the entire membership and will become members of the Alumni Network with additional networking opportunities. Upon completion of the program, Fellows will possess many new insights and a broader network to expand their leadership impact. They are offered the opportunity to apply to become a Member of the Club.
From Ideas to Impact
For more than a century, The Economic Club of New York has been a forum where bold ideas, fresh thinking, and meaningful dialogue come together to address the issues shaping society. The ECNY Innovation & Social Impact Challenge brings that mission to life by empowering the next generation of leaders to turn bold thinking into meaningful action.
Fellows take on emerging economic and social challenges, develop innovative solutions, and put forward ideas with the potential to make a difference. Challenge winners carry that impact forward by directing their awards to charitable organizations of their choice, connecting their ideas with causes and communities that matter.
More than a competition, the Challenge is a catalyst for ideas, action, and impact. It extends the power of ECNY’s mission beyond the conversation to create real-world impact.
