WELCOME TO THE FELLOWS WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Email announcements are sent to Fellows every Tuesday afternoon and feature program news and information, professional opportunities, and alerts of upcoming events to help you get the most out of your participation in the LCLD Fellows Program. These announcements will be archived on the website.
Questions? Please email Stephanie Uzel.
Please note: Leadership Lunches and Learning Experiences will be publicized via the Fellows Weekly Announcements. 2014 Fellows will be given priority to attend lunches, with any open spaces available for 2011, 2012 and 2013 Fellows. Capacity is limited, so be sure to read your Fellows announcements each week! If you have any questions, contact Stephanie (right).

FELLOWS SURVEY
Thank you to the Fellows who completed the survey last week . . . and to all Fellows who completed it at any point in time.
We currently have a total of 170 responses, so clearly there are some Fellows who still need to let us know the impact LCLD has had on their careers. We absolutely want to hear from you. So, you know who you are . . . please just go ahead and click here, take the survey and then you may skip this article in next week's announcements. Please note that the survey closes next Wednesday, July 16th.
Although the total number of responses increased since last week, the percentage of Fellows from each class remains about the same with the 2013 Fellows holding a strong lead over the 2011 and 2012 Fellows:
