The Administrator will help develop the application and selection criteria for new recruits. The Administrator will conduct the competition for fellows. At minimum, core perquisites must require that candidates: • Have 3–5 years of work experience, where candidates with graduate degrees are preferred; • Make a 2 year commitment; • Have prior experience in the area of community development, economic development, community or other public service, or related field; • Be a problem solver, critical thinker and potential manager; • Have a proven track record of entrepreneurship or social entrepreneurship, ability to work through bureaucracies to get things done; and • Demonstrate a commitment and passion to public service. In addition, applicants will be asked to rank order their location choices, and to articulate their interest in, or connection to any particular location(s). The selected Administrator may explore giving preference to candidates that already live in a pilot city. The selection process for fellows may involve multiple rounds of review that will culminate to several in-person group interviews. After the in-person interviews, a selection committee will make the final selection decisions. Fellows that best match the needs of the pilot cities based on their existing area of knowledge and skill set will be selected for the program. To ensure fellows are properly matched to the needs of each pilot city, the selection process will include a review of the results from the city assessments that were initially conducted for each pilot city before selection.
