StartingBloc is committed to becoming a truly sustainable organization. As we continue to move from an educational institution to a lifelong Fellowship, we are building the systems that will enable StartingBloc to serve its Fellows for years to come.

With an eye for sustainability, StartingBloc is now searching for it’s next staff member. The next Fellowship Director will be in charge of facilitating new connections and deepening existing ones for a community that grows to 1800 Fellows in 2012.

Our current Fellowship Director, Sarah Bishop (LON ’08), has spent more than two years evolving the role. She exceeded expectations from the start, transforming the position to lead teams of more than 50 volunteers each year. Now Sarah is applying for graduate school, and we know that whichever program she chooses will be lucky to have her. While her last day at StartingBloc is still far in the future, our commitment to sustainability leads us to begin searching for her successor now.

We are planning an extensive knowledge transfer process for the next bright leader who steps into the Fellowship Director position. This new hire will work with Sarah over the course of several months to build new programs and jointly implement an entire recruitment, admissions, and Institute cycle.

Sarah has built a solid foundation for the Fellowship Director position, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. Ready to take the reigns? Learn more about the selection process, and apply for the position by sending a cover letter and resume to jobs@startingbloc.org.

We are incredibly proud of the strong foundation that has been built at StartingBloc, and look forward to the next wave of innovations that will strengthen our community of Fellows.

Sincerely,

Adriana Pentz (BOS ’07)
