ELP Happenings |
Congratulations 2010 Fellows!
 The 2010 cohort was recognized on October 12 at our annual luncheon. Our keynote speaker, Randal Pinkett, Ph.D., inspired the audience with his talk which focused on working toward greatness. Asking the question, do we want to be successful or great, he encouraged young leaders to move beyond success. 2010 Cohort Presented: Creating a Stable & Healthy Economy
 On October 20, 2010, seven Emerging Leaders Program fellows presented, Creating a Stable and Healthy Economy: Fresh Views from Emerging Leaders. The presentation was a result of the work of forty-four Fellows in the 2010 Emerging Leaders Program in collaboration with the Center for Social Policy at UMass Boston on their "reshaping poverty policy" initiative. The Fellows used their professional skills to analyze data and create awareness campaigns, in turn getting a deeper view of how their civic engagement can make a difference in addressing social issues that affect both businesses and communities. The Fellows examined factors that affect housing and family homelessness, working closely with three organizations, whose participation was made possible by the Hyams Foundation: Boston Tenant Coalition, Greater Boston Fair Housing Center, and Homes for Families.
Our ELP presenters were: David Leonard, Boston Public Library; Daylana Ervin-Parker, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; Paul Rabiner, Genzyme; Maija Pratt Rojas, State Street Corporation; Beth Harubin, Tufts Medical Center; and Joel Connor, Community Academy of Science & Health. See pictures from the event >> Sherry Penney Interview Aired on WUMB

Brief History of ELP |
|
The Emerging Leaders Program is an executive training program for professionals in the Greater Boston area. In the program fellows enhance their leadership skills and learn how to work effectively with other leaders toward specific goals. Each fall, a group of "fellows" is chosen for a 10-month program involving a weeklong seminar, followed by monthly meetings and team projects. At its conclusion, fellows have honed their individual leadership skills in several areas, including communication, conflict resolution, the political process, entrepreneurship, media relations, networking, and teamwork.
