The annual program recognizes the accomplishments and supports the professional development of social sector leaders who have a demonstrated record of leadership and entrepreneurial performance, and who are engaged in programs that demonstrate community innovation. During the year-long fellowship, Hesselbein Fellows are provided with intellectual resources, opportunities and guidance designed to encourage their vision of community innovation, enhance their leadership effectiveness, and support their pursuit of excellence in organizational and personal performance. Short biographies of the Fellows, details of the program, and conference information, can be found on the Drucker Foundation's Web site (http://www.drucker.org/).

The 2002-2003 Fellows will be officially introduced at the Drucker Foundation's annual leadership and management conference, Leadership Essentials: Charting Paths, Changing Lives, being held from November 18-19 in Philadelphia, PA. Scheduled conference speakers include: Peter F. Drucker, Frances Hesselbein, Alfred Babington-Johnson, Sally Helgesen, General Robert R. Ivany, and Michael Useem.
