The Senior Fellows program offers practitioners with a track record as innovators in the field of community change an opportunity to reflect on and share their experience and wisdom.  

The Aspen Roundtable on Community Change is pleased to announce that Jennifer Vanica has been selected as the inaugural honoree in our new Senior Fellows program. From 1995-2011, Jennifer Vanica was the President and CEO of the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation and the Jacobs Family Fund in San Diego, CA.  She led one of the nation’s pioneering neighborhood revitalization initiatives, the Village at Market Creek, an integrated network of commercial, residential and cultural projects that are planned, designed, built, managed and owned by community residents.  We thank the California Endowment for sponsoring the Aspen Roundtable’s Senior Fellowship.
