The Fellows program bestows honorary recognition to a select group of distinguished professionals recognized for their contributions to their profession and who are called to continual service to the profession as authors, mentors, conference facilitators, and faculty.

The International Leadership Association and Maureen Metcalf share many values, such as a focus on leadership's ability to effect worldwide change; an emphasis on leading thoughtfully; and an interest in the dissemination of trusted leadership resources that encourage innovative, effective, and ethical leadership practices for a better world. These shared values make for a natural partnership between the ILA and Ms. Metcalf.

All Fellows serve as ILA ambassadors and are involved in one or more significant initiatives or projects. Ms. Metcalf has agreed to produce and share trusted leadership resources through her podcast series and column on Forbes.com.

According to Cynthia Cherry, President, and CEO of the International Leadership Association, "The ILA and I are thrilled to participate in an interview series on global leadership with Maureen Metcalf, host of Innovative Leaders Driving Thriving Organizations. She is knowledgeable and always makes our ILA members and VIPs such as George Papandreou (Former Prime Minister of Greece) and Jorrit Volkers (Dean of Deloitte University - Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) feel at home. During the interview process, her years of experience and insight help elicit and drive home important points about global leadership and our need for more complex, integrated leadership thinking and solutions. We're looking forward to working with her our next series of podcasts based on presentations and keynotes at our annual conference this October in Ottawa, Leadership: Courage Required"
