Live sessions, discussion, learning resources, and participation in a practical AI leadership community.
Chicago AI Mastermind Group
Scholar Program
The Scholar Program is a limited-seat, no-cost, value-exchange membership track for professionals, students, and people in transition who can actively contribute to the Chicago AI Mastermind Group.
What Scholars receive
Scholars receive full Mastermind access at no financial cost during their term, in exchange for active contribution.
Visibility
Opportunities to build portfolio-ready contributions through content, research, facilitation, or community support.
Growth
A structured environment for developing AI strategy, communication, and applied leadership skills.
Contribution lanes
Assignments may evolve based on FCG and Mastermind needs, but every Scholar seat is reciprocal.
Content and visibility
Short write-ups, recaps, LinkedIn amplification, visuals, or public-safe insight summaries.
Research and preparation
Pre-meeting research, trend summaries, tool evaluations, reference sheets, or short briefs.
Community and operations
Question capture, meeting insight support, onboarding help, chat support, or facilitation support.
Participation expectations
The public version is simple: show up, contribute, communicate, and help the group get stronger.
- Attend regularly and communicate conflicts when possible.
- Complete at least one meaningful contribution per month.
- Stay responsive to check-ins and coordination requests.
- Participate in the group with respect for privacy, trust, and the member room.
Scholar seats are contribution-based.
If a Scholar seat is not currently available, FCG may suggest paid membership, supported participation, or a later review window.
