Program accomplishments

  • The Zelenko Fellows Program launched with the sponsorship of our first Fellow, Alex Stone. Alex, whose focus is in the area of media integrity, has been able to attend various media events and has been introduced to several media personalities by ZFF Chairwoman Ann Vandersteel. Alex has also been trained to host a livestream television program on Brighteon TV and assisted in developing the skills and formatting for his own podcast. Ann Vanersteel has launched The Zelenko Report on Brighteon TV which airs Monday-Friday. Ann has guests that focus on all areas of the ZFF mission and has attracted an international audience following. ZFF has sponsored and co-hosted two Common Ground Campus events consistent with their original program initiatives outlined in their IRS tax exempt application form. The first event was held at the University of Houston and focused on finding common ground between students with differing views of higher education funding. The second event was held at Medina High School in Medina, Ohio where the focus was on agreeing to the rights of student groups on campus. Both events promoted the ZFF and both were moderated by ZFF board member Brent Hamachek. Chairman Ann Vandersteel attended the Houston event in person and made remarks on behalf of the foundation.
