About the Judy Schneider Fellowship

Established in 2015, in conjunction with WGR’s 40th anniversary, theJudy Schneider Fellowship is named in gratitude and appreciation for the immense impact Judy Schneider has had on WGR and the thousands of women she has mentored, developed and trained through her Direct Connect to Congress education series, since 1985.

The Fellowship provides real-life opportunities for emerging government relations professionals to build their professional and personal skill sets. This year-round program is aimed at creating the next generation of talented, ethical, savvy and passionate advocates.
