The Tarkle Fellowship
A Practical Foundation for Emerging Leaders
The Tarkle Fellowship is an intensive leadership and governance learning experience designed to help emerging leaders develop the knowledge, judgment, and practical skills needed to contribute effectively to society.
Purpose
For people who want to understand how leadership and governance work
The fellowship is designed for people who want to understand how leadership and governance work, not simply talk about them.
