What is Emerging Leaders?
It’s a community of young professionals and high-potential individuals looking to develop their leadership skills and professional networks.
Your rising stars can engage with this network by enrolling in the Emerging Leaders Channel Certification (ELCC) program and attending the ISA Fall Summit events where the curriculum is designed to provide leadership skills and the applied technical know-how they need to make a difference in your company. This energetic group spans the entire MROP channel, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, and IMRs from companies large and small.
