Thank you for your interest in nominating a Fellow. We are grateful to partner with our Fellows and others in building the Pahara Community. Nominations are critical to our ability to identify exceptional leaders from across the education ecosystem.
It will take you approximately 15 minutes to share your nomination. We encourage you to visit our list of Frequently Asked Questions before you get started.
We believe that a broad, diverse coalition is needed to reimagine the role and manner of education in society. While the Fellowship is open to all education leaders who meet our selection criteria, we are particularly seeking to identify innovative leaders who represent the following:
Charter schools
Nonprofit organizations supporting charter schools
Leaders bringing perspectives from across the political spectrum (We aim to have cohorts that are ⅓ left leaning, ⅓ moderate and ⅓ right leaning.)
Nominations help us identify impactful leaders in education. Due to the high volume of applications we receive each year and our selection criteria, it is common for candidates to go through multiple selection cycles before being selected. To engage with each candidate’s evolving leadership journey, we invite those not selected to opt in for future cohort consideration. We encourage you to share this with your nominee and appreciate your trust and continued engagement in our nomination and selection process. As you prepare your nomination, please revisit our selection criteria on our website and plan to share:
The leader’s name, title, organization, and email address
How long you’ve known the leader and in what capacity
Why you believe your nominee would be an outstanding choice for the Fellowship
