This program is designed for teams of leaders from diverse backgrounds who want to make real progress on an important problem they face in their community, with the intention that they continue their work together after the completion of the program. Teams that reflect nontraditional alliances are encouraged. Ideal teams are made up of 4-6 people, however smaller teams will be considered. In the past, teams have found funding from a variety of sources, including family, community, corporate, and national foundations.

Application Process for Community Problem Solving Teams:

No individual applications will be accepted. Each team must choose a person to coordinate the process and be the primary contact for the team.

Each team member must complete the Executive Education application and submit it, along with a resume, to the team coordinator.

The team coordinator will forward all of the applications and resumes along with a cover memo to the Executive Education Admissions office (address below). The cover memo should:

  • Outline the issue the group has been formed to solve.
  • Indicate what resources/viewpoints each member brings to the team.
  • Include contact information for the organization responsible for the team’s tuition payment (unless each participant is responsible for their own).

In addition to the confirmation e-mail sent to the team coordinator; each participant will receive an e-mail notifying them of their status.
