ABOUT US
The Pacific Century Fellows - Marianas Chapter is a leadership development program created by the Tan Siu Lin Foundation through Tan Holdings. It is designed to offer individuals leadership training. The program emulates the objectives of Hawaii's own Pacific Century Fellows program which was founded by the former mayor of Honolulu, Mufi Hannemann. Our objective is to help develop individuals from all walks of life, fields and professions into becoming leaders.
The program is nine months long beginning with a two day retreat. Once a month, Fellows will attend day-long classes addressing the current events of our island such as tourism, education, government, healthcare and homeland security. Classes are hosted by guest speakers pertaining to the topic of that month. Our guest speakers include public figures such as the governor, chief of police, supreme court judges and executives of major private companies. Fellows will be able to help plan monthly classes; bringing in community leaders to talk about the challenges that they face into a classroom environment.
Graduation from the program marks the beginning of a greater community responsibility. Our graduates are encouraged to collaborate and develop their individual leadership skills as well as taking a more active public service role.
