ELP's New England 2013 Class Begins!

2013 New England Regional Network
Seventeen emerging leaders arrived at the Friendly Crossways Retreat Center in Harvard, MA on May 16th as strangers - by the time they departed 4 days later they had become a tight knit community.
Engaged in a full day of community building prior to delving into two days of intense diversity work, the class quickly learned the ELP Program is a learning process that embraces the wisdom in the room.
"ELP offers a truly unique opportunity to not only grow as an individual and as part of a community, but to find hope and inspiration in the network or compassionate, intelligent and visionary Fellows who are at the core of the program" Hanna Lentz
We are very excited to track the progress of our 8th New England Class which will be working on their Personal Leadership Plans over the next 7 weeks. The class's next retreat will take place August 8 - 11th in conjunction with our 2013 Eastern Regional Network.
As our 2013 regional programs are now underway, ELP is actively recruiting for our new National Fellowship Program. Applications will be accepted through July 1st. More information can be found at http://www.elpnet.org/national-fellowship-program

New Senior Fellows Creating Their Own Future
By Errol Mazursky | Executive Director
The 16 members of the 2012 Eastern Regional Network Class graduated into our Senior Fellows community during their 3rd retreat which took place October 18 - 21.
The curriculum for this year's third retreat was updated to include building collaborative networks, our first ever happiness training and a new strength based leadership component.
"ELP has re-defined the meaning of collaborative learning for me and provided me with a true community of diversity that I can relate with, work with and learn from."
Robert Yang
2012 Eastern Regional Fellow
In addition to our training program, 3 Fellows used their expertise to teach the class about energy audits by conducting one on site and providing a list of recommendations to facility manager.
As ELP's Senior Fellowship Program continues to grow, Fellows are empowered to chart their own course for collaborative success. Our new strategic process for Senior Fellows allows each class to create their own visions for the program as well as develop projects that can be launched within the next 2 quarters.
During this strategic process, the class was divided into 3 teams. In addition to traditional methods of flip charting ideas, each team had chose an electronic scribe to update a class shared Google Doc in real time. Within an 30 minutes, the Google Doc came alive with a flowing of ideas that translated into 50 new vision statements and 20 new projects!
