Ladies and Gentlemen:
We would like to take this opportunity and draw your attention to an
innovative fellowship program set up by our company and kindly ask
for your help in promoting this program internationally:
On his 80th birthday, the entrepreneur and philanthropist Reinhard
Mohn received the "Reinhard Mohn Fellowship" as a gift from the
Bertelsmann AG executive board. The fellowship pays tribute to his
lifetime achievements by sponsoring dedicated people to follow in
Reinhard Mohn's footsteps. We have chosen an innovative and
progressive approach to sponsorship: each year, we will select
between five and seven talented people from all over the world, who
will spend 12 months in the Bertelsmann group, going through a
demanding Fellowship program.
The Reinhard Mohn Fellowship is intended for people who have
initiated, led or impelled innovative projects: leaders and
entrepreneurial talents from all sectors of society - business, the
public and non-profit sectors, science, culture, sports, or social
services. In this particular case, degrees and academic merit are of
secondary importance - the important thing is that their projects
have made a discernible contribution to society. Fellows are given
the opportunity to obtain valuable knowledge and expertise and build
up extensive networks through selective training and a wide range of
project work in a variety of divisions and at different locations
within our global media company. Thus equipped, they are expected to
expand on their existing potential and apply it to projects in their
own field of activity. On top of this, they will become familiar with
a philosophy of leadership that will serve both as an example and as
motivation. At Bertelsmann, we not only appreciate the success of our
corporate culture and leadership philosophy, but would also like to
pass it along true to Reinhard Mohn's intention.
Interested persons may apply until June 1, 2002. At the end of July
2002, the Fellows will be named by a Jury at a selection convention.
The Jury consists of outstanding public personalities who represent
the spirit and attitude we are looking for in our Reinhard Mohn
Fellows.
We kindly request that you use the network at your disposal to call
attention to the Reinhard Mohn Fellowship and the opportunities it
has to offer. More detailed information is available from our
website: www.reinhard-mohn-fellowship.com
If you have any further questions about the program, please contact
us by e-mail or regular mail. I would be delighted to also personally
talk to you about this wonderful opportunity.
Kind regards,
Dr. Anette Bickmeyer
