This application form is the only opportunity for the admissions committee to get to know you. There are no follow-up interviews so please be thorough with your responses.

Hipower invites a small group of demonstrated leaders to form a "ring" each year. Our premise is that a twelve-month commitment builds trust and the capacity to explore new boundaries as each participant answers the question "What do you want to be known for?"

Interested in applying? First, confirm that you meet the following requirements:

1. you hold a vice president+, partner, managing director or founder title at an existing organization

2. you have presented in at least 3 public speaking engagements or have published or posted at least 2 articles

3. you are on at least one board (for-profit or non-profit) or volunteer for at least one organization

4. you are ready to commit to attending at least 6 out of 7 meetings during the course of the program year and our in-person 2 day offsite

Hipower participants come together to support each other in learning to articulate the broader vision that inspires us and the path towards achieving it. In order for us to be here for each other, then each of us needs to commit to this goal.

DECISION PROCESS

The Hipower Selection committee reviews each set of applications beginning in December. Applications for the program are taken year round for the following year's program. Acceptances into the program are decided on a rolling basis, so apply early. Final decisions are made before the end of January.
