Yale Directors Forum

Yale Directors Forum A fellowship program for global leaders of museums and cultural institutions. The Yale Directors Forum is a highly selective 18-month fellowship program for leaders who are dedicated to developing cultural heritage institutions and the communities they serve. Fellows are trailblazers and change agents who are building museums, cultural centers, libraries, archives and heritage sites that educate people about the past and present. Through interaction with leading global practitioners, engagement with expertise across Yale, and connections within each cohort, the Forum provides an exciting opportunity for fellows to expand their learning about cultural heritage management, grow their professional networks and reach new levels of success and growth in their organizations. The Forum is housed within Yale’s Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (Yale IPCH) and led by Charlotte Ashamu, the Yale IPCH Director of International Programs.
