Our annual Fellows program brings together proven researchers, analysts, communicators, and leaders to further their experience and the Council's work each summer.
This year's Fellows were four outstanding, young Florida leaders whose academic achievements, leadership experience, and commitment to public service reflect the next generation shaping our state.
Chloe Hutt is a Distinguished Scholar and University Scholar at the University of Florida pursuing Business Administration and an accelerated Master of International Business, with research focused on the impact of artificial intelligence on business, law, and emerging technology.
Renee Simeus is a senior at the University of South Florida pursuing dual degrees in philosophy and criminology. As President of the USF Ambassadors, she is dedicated to advancing leadership, civic engagement, and public service.
Jacob West is a recent Palm Beach Atlantic University graduate in politics with a minor in creative writing. A published author and community leader, he is passionate about public service and effective storytelling.
Rahil Zaveri is a rising senior at the University of Florida pursuing degrees in criminology and English. Through experience across all three branches of government and leadership in legal and policy organizations, he is helping advance conversations around Florida's future.
We congratulate Chloe, Renee, Jacob, and Rahil on completing The Florida Council of 100 Fellows Program and look forward to the impact they will make across our state.
