The 2016 - 17 Emerging Leaders Program kicked off a few weeks ago. 46 fellows representing 34 organizations worked on expanding their leadership skills and potential, and learned from a highly talented cadre of path to leadership speakers and subject matter experts.

We are excited to welcome several new organizations to the program including:

Allied Universal
Boston Fire Department
Boston Medical Center Health Plan Inc.
Boston Police Department
East Boston Neighborhood Health Center
marlo marketing
Marsh & McLennan Agency
New England Revolution
Suffolk District Attorney's Office
The Community Builders

And many thanks to those organizations who support the Emerging Leaders Program year after year. As you well know, the ability to develop relationships and collaborate across organizations, industries and sectors is what makes us strong. If your organization is not participating in the ELP and you'd like to learn more, contact us!
