  2. The ELA began as a joint effort of the engineering Founder Societies that was started in 2008 and has remained a collaborative effort. Other organizations have joined the alliance: UEF Founder Societies Two United Engineering Foundation (UEF) Founder Societies are in the Alliance. Other Partnering Societies ELA All four AIME Member Societies are in the Alliance. AIME Member Societies 2

  3. NAE’s The Engineer of 2020 report: Who are the engineering and scientific leaders of the 21st century? They will be engineers and scientists reflecting the evolution of our professions. They will have a wide range of complementary, nontechnical skills. Society will need them to address “real problems facing mankind,” including energy, sustainability and healthcare. NSF’s September 2008 “Future of Materials Science and Engineering Education” workshop summary promoted introducing “soft” skills (e.g. presentation, business, ethics) by integrating them with technical learning and maintaining balance The ELA program benefits engineering individuals, corporations that employee them, and the professional societies to which they belong: Accelerates emerging leaders in their careers Trains future leaders, mentors of organizations Enhances organizational image and supports a core societal role of education We know of no other comparative U.S. program that provides the opportunity to interact across disciplines and obtain foundational executive-level skills for such an exceptional value and seeks industry support through sponsorships and leadership involvement in the program. The Need 3

  4. The Vision 4 The Emerging Leaders Alliance will be a respected provider of cost-effective, efficient, high-quality leadership training and networking for emerging leaders in the engineering and scientific community.

  5. The project has been supported in 2008-2011, and 2013 by the United Engineering Foundation. 5

  7. A survey of ELA alumni confirmed that conference participation has been beneficial to their careers. 7 92% said they were satisfied (4 out of 5) or very satisfied (5 out of 5) with the overall ELA experience, the majority being very satisfied 65% said that it was better than other training programs they’ve attended 24% have stayed in touch with other attendees since they attended 73% said they’ve been promoted or assumed increased leadership responsibilities since attending ELA

  8. The 2015 ELA Conference High quality training, planned by professional societies, delivered efficiently at an exceptional value, for select emerging leaders within the engineering and scientific community! Training Includes: Annual conference (November 8–11 in Reston, Va.) Online ELA Resource Library Follow-on community of practice and alumni communications All alumni of the program receive access to the ELA On Demand, an online portal to recorded sessions from the 2010 - 2014 ELA conferences! 8

  10. Partner Benefits 10 Participation in program content and future direction Marketing support 80% of On Demand revenue share Promotion in all ELA marketing materials, including website and conference program. “The SEG became a partner in the Emerging Leaders Alliance in 2011 as a way in which to test the program.  We were not positioned to have a program of our own, and collaboration with a known program seemed like an excellent next step …and indeed it was.  The testimonials emanating out of our participants were across-the-board outstanding.  It is clear to me that we made the right decision in joining this partnership, which is precisely why I look forward to continued participation.  This program makes a difference!” Steven Davis, Executive Director, Society of Exploration Geophysicists
