Segal McCambridge Founder and Shareholder Jeffrey Singer has been selected to serve as a Board Trustee for the Eisenhower Fellowships, an organization established in 1953 to celebrate Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first birthday in the White House and to honor  the President’s devotion to World Peace. Since its inception, Eisenhower Fellowships has remained a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to advancing leaders from around the world in their chosen fields. Once selected, Fellows travel to take part in individualized programs where they perform research and studies focused on business concepts and new technologies, among other subjects. The selection process crosses national borders and seeks Fellows who will challenge themselves, further positive change and engage others to better the world around them. As a Board Trustee, Jeffrey will support both the mission and the strategic direction of the organization. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell serves as the current Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Previously, The Board has included former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former President George H.W. Bush. Currently, there are 43 Fellow chapters and associations throughout the world.
