ELN Spotlight Submissions

The ELN Spotlight is where you can find profiles of ELN members, thought leadership on city-building and civic issues, and reflections on ELN programming.

Whether you're interested in being featured in the Faces of ELN section, where you'll fill out a Q&A about yourself, your work and your passions, or in the Ideas of ELN section, where you'll share your thoughts and reflections on city-building, inclusive leadership or civic issues, please fill out this short application form. Successful applicants will be contacted to submit a full Q&A or reflection piece. Please note that you can apply for just one section or for both. You are also welcome to nominate another rising leader from within the ELN for Faces of ELN.

Spotlights are typically published monthly, and we will keep this application open on a rolling basis- so if you aren't contacted immediately, we may still reach out in the future!

If you have any questions, please reach out to leadership@civicaction.ca.
