Description
The Caroline and Martin Gross Fellowship is an annual award administered by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to honor extraordinary public service and nurture the next generation of public servants. It enables one recipient each year to attend the three-week, in-person Senior Executives in State and Local Government seminar at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
The fellowship seeks candidates who can benefit from the program and use that experience to improve public decision-making in New Hampshire. The seminar combines classroom instruction, hands-on learning, and real-life case studies to explore leadership, negotiation, collaboration, policy design, and urgent challenges facing state and local leaders. The award carries forward Caroline and Martin Gross’s dedication to public service.
