Overview: The program is a collaborative effort among El Pomar Foundation, community leadership development programs in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and minority-focused community organizations. It offers community leadership development training and outreach activities that extend into the broader community. El Pomar also provides scholarships for selected individuals to take part in these leadership programs. Program participants and graduates are involved in a variety of civic activities within their communities and are leaders in the non-profit, governmental and corporate sectors.
Representatives from each of the Leadership Programs will be in attendance. There will also be time allotted for each Advisory Council to talk about their involvement and schedule meetings for 2008.
El Pomar Emerging Leaders Development (ELD) Program began in 2001 to help develop the wealth of diverse leadership potential within Southern Colorado. The program identifies and encourages current and emerging ethnic minority leaders to embrace broad-based community involvement, civic engagement and service on boards and commissions.
Since 2001, 130 ethnic minorities in Colorado Springs and Pueblo have participated in leadership development programs. 124 have graduated and El Pomar funded leadership training for 93 emerging leaders. The Emerging Leaders Program has partnered with several community-based organizations (i.e. The Urban League of the Pikes Peak Region) in Colorado Springs to address quality of life issues and broad based community outreach/involvement.
