Here’s Pace talking about his fellowship experience

Mee Leng Wang and Bill Blodgett have a combined 54 years of experience in various marketing and customer support roles at Hewlett-Packard and “job-shared” their Encore Fellowship. During their fellowship year they partnered to bring business development and change management expertise to Aspiranet’s Experience Corps Bay Area program. Since then, they have continued to work on change management initiatives at Aspiranet.

“As an Aspiranet Encore Fellow, I was touched by the amount of heart the program staff put into their work. Their motivations are pure and their work is clearly rewarding.”  Mee Leng Wang

Scott Allen was part of the inaugural Silicon Valley Encore Fellows cohort and was placed at Aspiranet to create a business plan for an encore careers job-matching system in California. He utilized his extensive executive experience and expertise in small business management and marketing in publishing at MacAdam CAGE Publishing and in the financial sector. Post-fellowship he has continued to serve as a consultant on various Aspiranet projects.
