About us
The Emerging Leaders of America Alumni works for all of us
See what we can do for you and what you can do for the business community.
What We’re Doing
We are serving the business community in a variety of ways.
Every quarter, the ELA/THRIVE Alumni Association hosts an event for the Alumni. This includes workshops, networking events, and even some social events. Check out our Past Events to see some of the things we’ve done together.
The Job Bank
Opportunities for business vary from industry to industry. There are times when some business owners have to let some employees go during a downturn or a contract ending. Simultaneously, a colleague might need an employee with the skillset of that person who was released. The ELA Board of Directors has created a Job Board for posting opportunities.
