CivicAction's Emerging Leaders Network (ELN) connects, develops, and activates rising leaders from across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).  By creating opportunity for thought-provoking dialogue, leadership development, and networking opportunities, the ELN helps build-up and galvanize action-oriented leaders to create a more connected, collaborative GTHA. Created in 2006, the ELN is now 3000+ rising leaders strong, including DiverseCity Fellows alumni, and represents a wide range of backgrounds, communities, and sectors.

 

The ELN Executive Committee is made up of diverse rising leaders with a passion for driving change and growing their network. We are currently recruiting for the 2022-2023 ELN Executive Committee, who will be responsible for developing and executing innovative programming and communications, engaging with rising leaders from across sectors and communities in the GTHA, and acting as ELN Ambassadors at city-building events and spaces.
