Building a statewide community that supports accomplished leaders in achieving their aspirations while accelerating their individual and collaborative impact.
Statewide Cross-Sector Collaborative Action
82 Leaders. 13 Sectors. 42 Towns.
Our growing statewide community is on track to exceed 200 leaders by 2030.
“It’s really special to bring together mission driven people, but it is even more uplifting to get to know each other as human beings, a little bit about what motivates us, and to discover how it is that we might leverage each other’s good works and good hearts.”
Steven Hernandez, Executive Director, ConnCAN
“As a leader, clergy no less, I often find myself alone or in what feels like echo chambers. It is refreshing to be around a diverse group of people in different sectors who all care about meaningful work and making the state better.”
Rev. Philippe Andal, Pastor, Community Baptist Church
“A chance to reflect and grow—both individually and with colleagues—away from literal and psychic noise, for the betterment of ourselves, each other, and the state.”
Janna Wagner, Co-Founder, All Our Kin
Building with Purpose
Redwood Fellows invests in and convenes 82 leaders across 13 professional sectors, advancing cross-sector connections, learning, and collaborative action.
“I have appreciated the opportunity to meet like-minded leaders, and for the space the retreats offered to gather moments of clarity and mental escape from the day-to-day grind of leadership. Both the reflection time and connection with peers have made me a more resilient and empathetic leader which has had a positive impact on my decisions professionally and personally.”
Matthew Quinones, Director of Operations, City of Stamford
“Surprisingly terrific.”
John Healey, former Chief of Staff, Connecticut Senate Republicans
“Overall, Redwood allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and to look past today to see what my personal legacy and vision are for long-term impact.”
Jeff Currey, Chief of Staff to the House Majority Leader, Connecticut General Assembly
“Exceptional.”
Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, Associate Dean for Health Equity Research and Professor, Yale School of Medicine
