Donovan-Boyle Tapped for U.S Chamber Foundation's Education and Workforce Fellowship

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation announced that Erin Donovan-Boyle, President & CEO of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce was selected to participate in the tenth cohort of its premiere business leadership program. The Business Leads Fellowship Program trains and equips leaders from state and local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, and trade associations with resources, access to experts, and a network of peers to build their capacity to address the most pressing education and workforce challenges.

“I’m looking forward to participating in the Leads Fellowship Program to learn from experts and colleagues around the country about best practices in education and workforce development strategies to support and develop talent for the future of work,” says Erin Donovan-Boyle. 
 
“We created the Business Leads Fellowship Program in response to the needs of our state and local chamber partners,” says Caitlin Codella Low, Vice President at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. “They, better than anyone, see the critical link between education and economic development, and we are glad to be able to support them as they take on this critical leadership role in their community.”
 
Following a competitive application and selection process, Erin Donovan-Boyle was selected along with 34 other state and local chamber executives, economic development professionals, and association leaders to participate in the tenth class of this program. The eight-month program, consisting of both in person and virtual meetings, will cover the entire talent pipeline, including early childhood education, K-12, postsecondary education, and workforce development. 
 
Upon completion, Business Leads Fellows will join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s dedicated network of over 350 chambers of commerce and statewide associations from around the nation that regularly engage in education and workforce initiatives.
