ÿÿWhite House News


WASHINGTON, April 27, 2007  The White House announced today that
thirty-two outstanding individuals from across the country have been
selected as National Finalists for the 2007-2008 White House Fellows
Program  one of the nation_s most prestigious programs for leadership and
public service.ÿ The National Finalists represent a diverse cross-section
of professions, including business, medicine, law, non-profit sector,
media, state government, finance, and education.ÿ Additionally, four
branches of the military are represented among the National Finalists.ÿ A
complete list of the National Finalists appears below.

The White House Fellows Program, founded in 1964 by President Lyndon B.
Johnson, offers exceptional young men and women first-hand experience
working at the highest levels of the federal government.ÿ Fellows
participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions
with leaders from the private and public sectors, and study trips to
examine U.S. policy in action.ÿ Following the Fellowship year, the Fellows
repay the privilege by contributing to the country as better national
leaders and public servants.

Selection as a White House Fellow is highly competitive and based on a
record of remarkable professional achievement, evidence of leadership
skills, a strong commitment to public service, and the knowledge and skills
necessary to contribute successfully at the highest levels of the federal
government.ÿ The program has fostered leaders in many fields, including
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell; Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao;
Former CNN President Tom Johnson; United Nations Foundation President and
Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth; Pulitzer Prize winning author Doris
Kearns Goodwin; Former Supreme Allied Commander for Europe Wesley K. Clark;
U.S. Senator Samuel Brownback; and U.S. Representative Joe L. Barton.
