Agenda

Welcome from CIF Team

The Star Supervisor award is given to a supervisor or supervisors who empowered our Fellows in the workplace and encouraged their interests and passions both inside and outside of government. Supervisors may have gone above and beyond to facilitate relationships with our Fellows, connect them to helpful individuals through virtual coffees and meetings, troubleshoot technical issues, and more.

Star Supervisor Award

The "Mentoring it Forward" award recognizes a mentor who truly paid it forward with their mentorship. Whether a Fellow's mentor gave fantastic advice, introduced them to other practitioners in their network, or was always there to lend an extra hand, this award is given to mentors who played a significant role in a Fellow's experience.

The Community Builder award is given to an individual or individuals who went above and beyond to build community during the Fellowship. Perhaps this person organized events, built bridges during group gatherings, or was always open to connecting. This award is named in memory of Courtney Brousseau, a 2019 Civic Digital Fellow and one of the first recipients of this award. Courtney was a true connector of people—he organized our first-ever Fellowship Bake Off and Fellowship Firesides (now known as CIF Corner) and always asked others about their interests and passions. Our community lost Courtney to an act of senseless gun violence in May 2020 and we decided to name this award after him to honor and remember his legacy. Learn how Courtney's love touched everyone at www.loveforcourtney.org.
