Emerging Leaders Alliance seeks to
foster leadership in the engineering and scientific community. Our mission is to
provide an interdisciplinary community of learning for engineering and
scientific professionals, promoting the development of great leaders to guide
our professions in addressing the needs of people in the 21st
century.
Academic institutions address some of these needs through undergraduate
programs. Traditionally, large corporations have provided leadership training
programs to their employees. More frequently, however, job growth has been
driven by small and medium corporations, which may not have the resources to
provide training.
Furthermore, the challenges facing the scientific and
engineering community of the future require the engagement of professionals in
industry, academia and government agencies. As such, it is particularly
appropriate for professional societies to provide training in these areas.
