What kind of time commitment does the Fellowship require?
Once you are selected as a Fellow in August 2011, you are expected to attend a three-day training in Washington, DC on October 24-26, 2011. The Mayday Fund will reimburse your travel expenses (airfare/train/auto mileage/hotel). Following the training, you will be assigned to a communications professional from Burness Communications for a five-month period, who will provide one-on-one coaching, strategic counseling, and technical assistance to help you identify and implement a plan for meeting your advocacy goals in pain management. You and your coach will determine how often you will meet, usually by phone.
