United Way’s Emerging Leaders Development Program (ELDP) was established to identify, train, and promote local emerging leaders between the ages of 21 and 40 for placement on boards, committees, and community projects, and in policy-making positions, to ensure the region and its organizations are tapping the full potential of our resident young professionals.
The primary focus of ELDP is the development and application of effective leadership skills and competencies in one’s personal, professional, and public service pursuits. The connections, experience, and relationships built throughout ELDP are invaluable to individuals, organizations, and our entire community, as we work together to help local organizations thrive.
