The 2012 Emerging Leaders Program April 19 forum was hosted by BNY Mellon in Everett. Fellows heard from Nadine Chakar, Global Head of Derivatives 360 at BNY Mellon and Dr. Paula Johnson, Head of the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology and Chief of the Division of Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In addition, fellows learned about Effective Delegation from Mark Michaud, Senior Director of Technology Business Development at the MCCA and Lisa DeAngelis, Director of the Center. In addition, they worked on a case study about change management facilitated by Professor Marc Lavine of UMass Boston’s College of Management. ELP fellows in the 2012 cohort have 4 sessions remaining in the program.

At this time, as the Center prepares the remaining forums for 2012, we are also gearing up for the first ever September Emerging Leaders Program. As part of the planning for the September 2012-13 cohort, the Center is building an international partnership by incorporating a delegate of students from Shanghai International Studies University into the cohort for orientation week.

About the Emerging Leaders Program

The Program selects a diverse group of high potential individuals from the corporate, non-profit and public sectors to participate in a 9-month long leadership development program consisting of 90 hours of “in class” sessions. A cornerstone of this program is broadening the participants’ awareness of issues facing the region and challenging them to offer solutions. Survey data shows the alumni are more civically engaged as a result of the program. Liveda Clements, 2003 Senior Fellow from Blue Cross Blue Shield, writes:

The program provides Boston with a diverse group of dynamic leaders who are prepared to collaborate in order to develop creative solutions for some of Boston’s most pressing issues, for this, the program should be recognized as one of Boston’s most valuable assets.
