West Monroe announces 2022 class of Fischer Global Service FellowsCHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- West Monroe, one of the fastest-growing digital services firms, today announced its 2022 class of Fischer Global Service Fellows. West Monroe launched the Global Service Fellowship Program in 2013 to honor the firm's co-founder and former CEO, Dean Fischer, who inspired West Monroe with his commitment to building healthy communities and preserving the natural environment. Now in its ninth year, the Fischer Global Service Fellowship Program provides West Monroe employees up to six months of leave to volunteer their time and talent to support a philanthropic and humanitarian issue of interest, anywhere in the world. The four new Fischer Fellows join 28 other West Monroe professionals who previously completed fellowships, supporting causes that include literacy, clean water, gender equity, mental/behavioral health, economic empowerment, infrastructure development, human trafficking prevention, and more. Fischer Fellows have served on almost all continents and in their local communities. In 2020 and 2021, the Fischer Fellowship was paused due to the pandemic. "Congratulations to this new group of outstanding Fischer Fellows, who strive to make the world a better and more equitable place. The passion our people demonstrate while on their fellowships and when they return to West Monroe is extremely inspiring to us all," said Chief People Officer Susan Stelter. "Our Fellows return from their experience not only as better professionals but also stronger leaders. The program has become an important thread in the fabric of West Monroe." The following are the 2022 Fischer Fellows:
Employees interested in pursuing a Fischer Fellowship are required to develop a comprehensive proposal, which includes vetting an organization to work with and creating a proposal detailing a budget and expected impact. A West Monroe committee solicits and reviews the proposals annually and awards selected applicants with fellowship opportunities. The Fischer Global Service Fellowship is one component of West Monroe's core value of social responsibility, combining community focused, large-scale programs with grassroots, employee-led efforts to support the causes most important to both our people and our communities. Most recently, the firm's more than 2,200 employees volunteered for its annual Day of Service on July 15, 2022, dedicating 8,493 hours to 82 organizations in 25 cities and 3 counties.
