Emerging Leadership Institute

The Emerging Leadership Institute (ELI) is an intensive two-day seminar that provides participants with many of the critical leadership skills they need now and in the future. A cohort of emerging leaders is invited each fall to participate in the Emerging Leadership Institute at APAP|NYC in January. The workshop is a collaborative process, where learning from each other is highly valued. The workshop is also a valuable and rare opportunity for each participant to reflect on and develop their ideas about leadership and on their own career.

ELI is an opportunity to engage in new professional relationships, work in an environment in which confidentiality is a guiding principle -- facilitated by professional practitioners in the field -- become part of an expanding network of ELI alumni (now more than 200 alumni), and have an enhanced presence at the APAP Conference NYC. ELI is a smart career move for any performing arts professional including presenters, managers, artists, agents, artistic company managing directors, marketing directors, arts council personnel, and other related positions in the performing arts.

If you have any questions, please contact Laura Benson, Professional Development Associate, by email at lbenson@artspresenters.org or by phone at (202) 207-3852.
