2010 Enterprise Bart Harvey Fellowship

The first Harvey Fellowship is ending its term this year, and the next Harvey Fellow will start work on September 15, 2010, serving for two years in Enterprise’s New York City office and pursuing special projects under the direction of COO Terri Ludwig. The program will expose the Fellow to the implementation of the spirit and mission of Enterprise. Ms. Ludwig and other senior staff will identify activities for the Harvey Fellow that have important implications for Enterprise’s strategic and organizational challenges.

Terri Ludwig is charged with overseeing the organization’s programmatic efforts across the country in eight Impact Markets, with a specific focus on Enterprise’s three national impact initiatives – sustainable development, stabilizing communities and housing the most vulnerable.  Ludwig joined Enterprise in 2009 with more than 23 years of experience in investment banking and nonprofit leadership. Prior to joining Enterprise, she served as president of the Merrill Lynch Community Development Company, where she led community development lending and investing and created innovative public-private partnerships to finance critical community needs.

The deadline for receipt of applications is June 17, 2010.  Interviews will take place in late July and early August. The fellowship will be awarded in mid August and begin on September 15, 2010.
