NYC METRO AND VIRTUAL NATIONAL FELLOWS
The Economic Club of New York (ECNY) Fellows Program is a customized year-long program that introduces rising executives with great promise to thoughtful discussions and debates on the complex issues of the day, ranging from pressing economic, social, and political issues, public policy questions and corporate reporting issues to economic regulation and tech disruption, and much more. All Fellows must be sponsored by a Club Member in good standing.The exclusive Fellows-only programming includes intimate events with prominent Executives who are Members of the Club who share their personal business insights in an open-discussion format, professional growth sessions, networking within the Fellows Class, and complimentary access to all virtual member events. NYC Fellows can network and enjoy attendance at three in-person Member Events including our major year-end event where a special table is reserved for them. NYC Fellows are also given the opportunity to pose the first question(s) to the Guest Speaker at the Club’s Breakfast Events.
Additional programming includes a Jeopardy competition, community volunteer opportunities, and the annual Innovation and Social Impact Challenge. At the end of the program, the Fellows are recognized by the entire membership and will become members of the Alumni Network with additional networking opportunities. Upon completion of the program, Fellows will possess many new insights and a broader network to expand their leadership impact. They are offered the opportunity to apply to become a Member of the Club.

Testimonials from former Fellows:
~ Dawn Kissi, 2024 Fellow
"I have had the pleasure of being a fellow with the ECNY for the past year, and that experience has turned out to be much more rewarding than the high expectations I had when I joined the group, and the reputation that precedes the fellowship program. What inspired me was not only the access to the top-tier global economic stalwarts but the uniqueness with which the club marries all the programs together: a milieu of professionals across seniority levels and across specializations that creates an environment of unparalleled insights. I have befriended and learned from my fellow members, most of whom are from different industries, with whom I would not typically interact in my day-to-day work. I have also met many mentors who have been involved with the club for many years now and thus deeply appreciate the opportunity the membership provides. I am looking forward to continuing the involvement, having joined the club as a full-time member recently."
~ Rohit Goel, 2024 Fellow
"The Fellow’s Program put me on the right path towards a successful business career. This program is Gold!"
~ Ashley Nealis, 2024 Fellow
