Fellow Advisory Committee

About the Fellow Advisory Committee

LA'12 Day-Three 779

StartingBloc is constantly looking for new ways to offer Fellows the resources that they need to achieve dramatic impact. The Fellow Advisory Committee (FAC) is a group of highly engaged Fellows who serve as representatives of StartingBloc's community of Fellows as we continue to improve our programs and services.

The purpose of the FAC is to support StartingBloc in the design and delivery of high quality services to the global Fellowship. The FAC also serves to promote StartingBloc's values by fostering collaboration between Fellows. We're serious about this commitment: The chair of the FAC serves as a voting-member of StartingBloc's Board of Directors.
