Fellowship Created in Honor of Founding
Advisory Board Members
Roberta Achtenberg, then the Chamber’s head of public
policy, Eunice Azzani, Art Cimento and Frank Grimmelmann were instrumental
in the founding of SF Works in 1997 and have tirelessly guided our
organization for these last 11 years. To recognize their service,
SF Works has created a Founding Fellowship, a paid internship for
a recent college or graduate student to take on a project significant
to our work. SF Works has selected Julie Chan as our first Founding
Fellow, undertaking a project to analyze our data to better serve
our clients.
