Elevate Leadership Program

Elevate your career path

Elevate is a women’s development program designed to support participants in the Corridor and Quad Cities in gaining leadership insight, skills and experiences that they can apply personally and professionally. Participants will engage in their community with women in businesses outside of their own for learning and connection. The upcoming program is scheduled for June 2021-Dec. 2021.

Elevate is designed for emerging leaders. These are women in the Corridor and Quad Cities regions that you expect to see in leadership roles in the near future. Women very new (1-3 months) to leadership roles may also be considered. To be eligible, candidates must be endorsed by their organizations and approved for participation by their direct leaders/supervisors. All applicants should be able to meet the commitment expectations of the program. Review the full program description, expectations and calendar here.

For six months, attend 5 half-day learning sessions. During the last month of the program, the class will be split into teams and assigned a project topic to research and present to a panel of local leaders. This is a tangible outcome you can bring back to your company, based around one of five metrics from the EPIC Corporate Challenge.

Investment: $2,500/person (limit 2 participants/company)
