Since its inception in 1975, the Michigan EPLP has had more than 225 organizations sponsor fellows for the program. The sponsors include schools, colleges, universities, government agencies, private businesses, associations, foundations, museums and non-profit groups. Without the support of these organizations and their continued belief in the importance of the program, EPLP could not succeed. Each year, for the last ten years, approximately 75 percent of the people who sponsor EPLP fellows are former program participants themselves. Their willingness to provide funds and leadership development opportunities for others, is perhaps the best evidence of its true value.
