SDSVP Announces Sponsorship of our First SVP Fellows Program

Dr. Bob Shillman has graciously donated $5,000 to sponsor our very first Fellow. The fellowship shall be known as the “Doctor Bob Shillman Fellowship.” The SVP Fellows Program will help us to recruit new “fresh perspective” members who may not have the economic means to be an individual partner. Sponsored partners are not identified to the chapter at large, but will be chosen by the Board who will manage the selection process.

One-year Fellowships are for community-minded individuals working and/or living in San Diego County and allows SVP to open its doors to people that couldn't otherwise make the required financial commitment; who will add significant value; and who will get personal value from the work and connections within SVP.

We will award new Fellowships to those who meet the following criteria:

  • A historical or emerging desire to make a significant contribution to our community.
  • Seeing yourself continuing and growing that commitment in the years ahead.
  • A personal vision about your role in the community.
  • Someone that brings a different and diverse set of perspective and experiences.
  • You do not otherwise have the financial means to join SVP.
We hope other partners will follow Bob’s leadership and consider this worthwhile program and create their own fellowship. If you would like to sponsor a fellow, please contact us.
