Washington, D.C.— Today, SAFE announced 19 new Fellows will join its 2021-22 Energy Security Fellows Program. The program, now running in its seventh consecutive year, provides the next generation of energy and national security professionals with access to high-level programming and networking opportunities.
Through a series of monthly conversations with subject-matter experts, the program aims to connect professionals and thought leaders who are passionate about advancing the national conversation on the future of American energy security.
SAFE’s Energy Security Fellows are selected each fall in a competitive application process. The Fellows traditionally participate in a Washington, D.C.-based dinner series that include roundtable discussions with leaders in these sectors. Due to the ongoing pandemic, however, these events have shifted online.
Past speakers have included members of SAFE’s Energy Security Leadership Council (ESLC), which is co-chaired by General James T. Conway (Ret.), 34th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and Adam Goldstein, former Vice Chairman of Royal Caribbean Cruises and Global Chair, Cruise Lines International Association.
