Purpose:
The Emerging Leaders Institute is a conference designed to equip people with awareness, skills and opportunities to transform our region into a more equitable and just community. By creating a venue where diverse leaders share their skills, knowledge and passion with other practitioners and the community at large, BRIDGES, Public Allies Cincinnati, and our community partners seek to advance local efforts to change our communities narrative about leadership. The Institute will highlight the efforts of some of the area’s local, non-traditional, and informal leaders and the impact that their leadership is having in neighborhoods and communities throughout the tri-state.
Inaugural Event: Everyone Leads
BRIDGES is launching the E.L.I. to honor the release of Everyone Leads: Building Leadership from the Community Up.
Written by Paul Schmitz, President and CEO of Public Allies, Inc., this book was designed to inspire readers to see new leadership possibilities within themselves and their communities. It also offers a set of practices that will help leaders to become more effective in bringing diverse people and groups together to solve problems. While many leadership books today focus on how to lead organizations, this book is about how to lead communities.
