Emerging Leaders Society

Leadership Giving Network

"I GIVE TO UNITED WAY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN OUR REGION. THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY BELONGS TO, AND DEPENDS ON, ALL OF US. I SUPPORT UNITED WAY THROUGH A MONTHLY CREDIT CARD PAYMENT. I DON'T MISS THE MONEY, AND I FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO OUR COMMUNITY, ITS CHALLENGES, AND ITS SUCCESSES."

CHRISTINE BORRELLI SMITH, FORMER EMERGING LEADERS SOCIETY PAST CO-CHAIR AND ELDP ALUMNI

 

 

The Emerging Leaders Society is made up of hundreds of the region's most inspiring, proactive emerging leaders who are dedicated to making a positive local impact with their investments. EL is a group of individuals 40 years and under who connect with other local leaders and make an extraordinary commitment to serve our community.

INVEST IN SOLUTIONS

United Way’s Emerging Leaders Society (EL) members are leading the way for a brighter future for the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes Region. As an EL member, your annual United Way investment of $500 or more will help thousands of local people while demonstrating your commitment to our community.

MAKE LASTING CONNECTIONS

Your United Way leadership donation will connect you to the hundreds of members in the Emerging Leaders Society and thousands of established community leaders from all of United Way’s giving societies at member networking events. You will also gain access to leadership and career development opportunities.
