About the Michael Dukakis Leadership Fellow Program
The Michael Dukakis Leadership Fellow Program was initiated and is fully funded by the Boston Global Forum. Governor Dukakis, who has devoted his life to the promotion of world peace and democracy, founded Boston Global Forum in 2012 with Harvard Professors Thomas Patterson and John Quelch, and Nguyen Anh Tuan, founder of VietNamNet, and online global newspaper.
The Forum identifies the most impactful issues facing the world and provides practical and meaningful solutions to these problems. Governor Dukakis and Harvard Professor Joseph Nye, a member of the Boston Global Forum Board of Thinkers, have led several initiatives to build a Framework for Peace and Security in the Pacific in 2014. Earlier, the Forum played a role in improving worker conditions in Asia’s factories.
The Fellowship program was established in an effort to engage youth leaders in the furtherance of the Framework, and to enrich their leadership capability in the interest of greater global peace and security.
