The online application form requires a letter of interest. Please include a one-page letter of interest or essay describing why you feel you would be a good candidate for THA’s Leadership Fellows Program (maximum of 400 words). - Supplemental Application Requirements
We want to get to know you better through the application process, so we incorporated questions about your goals and expectations for the program in the online application form. Please review the “Goals” section in the application form for these specific questions. - Two Recommendation Letters
As part of the application, you are required to submit two letters of recommendation, one being from you current direct supervisor. The recommenders must be individuals who have supervised your work and/or have assessed your performance during your career and can attest to your ability to bring value to the program.
Step 1: Contact both recommenders and ask that they provide a letter to support your application to the THA Leadership Fellows Program. Give them plenty of time – the letters must be received by the application deadline. If both letters are not received by the deadline, your application cannot be considered.

- Required Acknowledgement of Attendance Requirements
One of the main benefits of this program is the knowledge and idea sharing that will go on between attendees in all modules. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that all fellows make every effort to attend each and every module.
Attendees who do not complete each required module will not be able to participate in the recognition ceremony with their class, nor will they be granted their certification of completion until they meet all of the requirements by completing each module.
The application asks you to acknowledge your understanding of the attendance policy. Additionally, one of your recommenders (current direct supervisor) must acknowledge endorsement of the time commitment required to attend the program. It is up to the candidate to communicate this requirement to his or her supervisor.
