Senior recognition for leadership, contribution and ecosystem impact.
FSE-LSSE is LSSE’s senior recognition for individuals who have made significant contributions to social enterprise, philanthropy, civic leadership, impact investment or ecosystem development. It should be selective, evidence-led and reputation-sensitive.
Applicants or nominees evidence senior contribution to social enterprise or public value.
Evidence may include organisations built, funds mobilised, communities served or platforms developed.
Applicants demonstrate responsible leadership and credibility.
Approved Fellows may be invited into leadership council, speaking or mentoring opportunities.
The panel considers contribution, reputation, evidence and fit with LSSE values.
Independent references support the evidence dossier.
The Fellow route is not a normal course. It should be managed as a senior recognition and institutional relationship pathway with appropriate discretion, evidence review and reputational safeguards.
Assessment includes nomination or direct application, evidence dossier, references and panel approval. Successful applicants may use FSE-LSSE subject to LSSE rules.
Fees should be approved by management and may include assessment, annual fellowship membership or Society Fellow Membership depending on the chosen model.
LSSE teaches this subject within a wider framework of social enterprise, sustainable economics, leadership, governance and institutional development. The programme is designed to be practical without becoming superficial, and academically serious without becoming inaccessible. Participants are expected to leave with stronger judgement, clearer documentation and a more credible operating approach.
Fellows may engage with the LSSE Society, leadership council, executive education, mentoring, recognition events and thought leadership opportunities.
FSE-LSSE should be governed carefully because senior recognition carries reputational implications for LSSE.
Yes. FSE-LSSE should allow nomination and direct application.
No. Evidence of contribution, integrity and public value should be required.
Yes, after approval and subject to LSSE rules.
Management should decide whether Fellow recognition is lifetime, renewable or connected to annual Society membership.
