Founded in 1964, the White House Fellows program is one of America's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service. The program gives promising young leaders 'first-hand, high-level experience in the workings of the Federal Government and increases their sense of participation in national affairs.' A panel of former White House Fellows will provide an overview of the program, share their experiences and discuss the application and selection process.

About the Panelists:

Prior to her work at Boeing, Martha was a vice president at Seafirst Bank, senior legislative assistant to U.S. Senator Bill Bradley and a 1977-78 White House Fellow, serving in the Department of Treasury as Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal's executive assistant. Martha has been actively engaged with a number of community and national nonprofit organizations. She is currently board vice chair of the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation; founding co-chair of Washtenaw County's Success by 6 Leadership Commission, a major community collaborative working to ensure all young children in our region are ready to start school to succeed; secretary of the University Musical Society Board; and secretary of the National Wildlife Federation Action Fund. She is a former board chair of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, the Ann Arbor Symphony and the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. She is also a member of the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars and the Council on Foundation's Community Foundations Leadership Team.
