Message from the President & Chairman of the Board

Dear Fortitude Applicants,

​

As we enter the second year of our Fortitude Global Cohort program, we are excited to invite a new group of passionate and ambitious individuals to join this transformative experience. Building on the success of our inaugural cohort, which brought together participants from across the globe—Sydney, Taiwan, New Delhi, the UK, São Paulo, Missouri, and Connecticut—our mission remains steadfast: to cultivate a globally diverse community of 12-15 students who will collaborate, network, and grow alongside industry leaders from around the world.

​

At Fortitude, we believe that diversity is our greatest strength. We continue to encourage applicants from all backgrounds and geographies to share their stories, experiences, and visions for the future. Your perspectives are critical in shaping the dynamic culture that defines Fortitude.

​

Throughout this 10-week program, you will not only earn the prestigious designation of Fortitude Global Associate, but you will also gain invaluable insights and connections. The program features personalized mentorship with seasoned Fortitude Advisors, engaging global group discussions, and interactive small-group workshops. Additionally, you will develop a tailored Professional Development Plan that will serve as a strategic guide for your career growth.

​

This is more than a program—it's a unique opportunity to join a thriving, collaborative, and innovative global community. We invite you to embark on this journey with us as we work together to empower the next generation of leaders in architecture, engineering, and construction.

​

We look forward to welcoming you to Fortitude and supporting your path to success.

​

Best regards,
Thomas M. Gannon
President, Fortitude Advisory Inc.
