Emerging Leaders for Children's
Established in 2011, Emerging Leaders for Children’s (ELC) is a leadership development board of accomplished business professionals, physicians and community volunteers in their 30s and 40s. As ambassadors, advocates and fundraisers, members have a profound impact on Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—one of the nation’s leading and largest pediatric healthcare systems.
ELC’s mission is to advance the vision of Children’s by engaging the community and raising awareness and funds for unique high-priority initiatives, as well as growing the next generation of volunteer leaders.
