The Tacoma Management Fellowship is an exciting two-year opportunity to see the day to day management of a large organization up close and personal.  Each Fellow works as a part of the City Manager's Office.  Management Fellows have access to great mentor opportunities, such as regularly scheduled private meetings with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Assistant to the City Manager.  Fellows are also given a challenging workload which includes weekly meetings with department directors, citizen engagement, exciting projects, working with various departments, interactions with Council Members, and opportunities for professional development.  The Tacoma Management Fellowship is recognized by ICMA (International City/County Management Association) as a Local Government Management Fellowship.  Furthermore, Tacoma is a large, vibrant city that is part of a metropolitan area.  

"The Fellowship provided me an opportunity to observe firsthand how the organization is managed.  Participating in the Senior Management Team meetings and having access to the City Manager has given me a wealth of knowledge and perspective that will help me work through and frame issues that I face in the future as a municipal manager.  And the personal interaction with Council Members, community groups, and citizens has been an eye opening preparation for addressing the multitude of complex problems that a community and its individual members face.  The City of Tacoma Fellowship put me in places and assignments that have really prepared me for a future in local government."  -Christian Clegg (Fellowship 2006-2008)
