The 2006-07 Finance and Administration Fellows Program

L-R: Finance and Administration Fellows Rod Platt, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Tim Burgess and Fellow Brett Jackson.

The Finance and Administration Fellows Program is part of an overarching program designed to improve the “bench strength” of the division by broadening employees’ knowledge of the diverse functions of Finance and Administration; building employees’ individual knowledge, skills and abilities; and forging connections for potential career growth and advancement. Each Fellow spent six months working in two F&A divisions (three months in each section).
