The mission of the ASA Emerging Leaders Division is to be the voice and advocate for the next generation of leaders in our industry, providing strategic insight to the association that supports the advancement of the industry’s next generation, as well as being an advocate for engaging the members through a strong professional network that advances the interest of the members. The role of this exciting division has taken on greater importance as seasoned industry leaders and their institutional knowledge are rapidly retiring.

The EL Leadership Council recently met at ASA headquarters in suburban Chicago to continue to map out the role and value the division offers members. Planning is underway to enhance next year’s programming in signature events such as EMERGE, along with the peer-to-peer networking and educational virtual sessions offered throughout the year.
