• Why should someone consider applying to ELA?
• Applying to the Emerging Leaders' Academy and being accepted like myself has been a pivotal experience in both my professional and personal life. I find myself using the practical knowledge and leadership skills I gained every single day. The program gives you more than just tools. It gives you perspective, purpose. It gives you a network of peers who truly understand the work we do. In the retreat, well, it reminded me that public works professionals really are the everyday superheroes of our communities. So if you're looking to grow, connect, and lead with purpose, ELA is an experience worth pursuing, and I hope you apply.
