OUR CLIENTS: Stennis
Fellows Program
of the
U.S. Congress
 In
every Congress, the Stennis Center for Public
Service (an independent agency established by
Congress), conducts the Stennis
Fellows Program for senior Congressional staff
(chiefs of staff, committee staff directors,
legislative directors etc.). The Stennis Center
asked Viewpoint Learning to lead the design and
conduct of this unique learning experience using
highly customized versions of our Strategic
Dialogue and
Dialogue Essentials programs.
 Senators and Members of the House of Representatives may nominate one qualified
senior staffer, and each class of 25 to 30 Stennis Fellows then is chosen in
a competitive process from among the nominees. Each class includes balanced
representation from both political parties and from the House and the Senate.
The program is designed to enable Fellows to engage in a strategic dialogue across
the boundaries of party and chamber, and to "look ahead" to explore
emerging issues of governance, leadership and Congressional management.
One of the special features of the Stennis Fellows Program is that
the Fellows set and pursue their own learning agenda within a core theme. The
program invites nationally and internationally renowned experts to meet with
the Stennis Fellows to stimulate their thinking. While learning from these outside
authorities is a unique opportunity, even more important is the dialogue, learning
and relationship-building that takes place across the boundaries of party and
chamber.
At the conclusion of the program, Fellows prepare a report of their
findings for the Congressional leadership and others interested in the future
of the United States Congress. Some of these reports, and additional information
on the program and the Stennis Center, can be found at the Stennis Fellows Program's
Web site.
