The Leadership Institute are a distinguished group of experienced leaders, scholars, and practitioners who contribute research, writing, and strategic insight to The American Council. Fellows are selected for their proven character, intellectual rigor, and commitment to serving the Church and the common good.

Through focused research, published essays, teaching, and public engagement, Fellows help shape thoughtful Christian leadership in a complex cultural moment. This is not a training program, but a collaborative community of leaders who bring depth, wisdom, and lived experience to the work of forming principled leadership for public life.
