EMERGING LEADERS INSTITUTE

The Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) is an innovative program that was designed by EOA (formerly MAEOPP) leaders who recognized the need to strengthen the association by developing potential leaders. Initiated in 1989 by Dr. Celerstine Johnson, the program’s purpose was to identify and prepare EOA members to assume leadership positions at the chapter and regional levels, to help those individuals grow personally and professionally, and to strengthen the Association.

The Emerging Leaders Institute is a year long leadership development program that is designed to inspire and cultivate strong leadership within the association. The program's design combines professional development, networking opportunities, and hands-on experiences that prepare participants for greater involvement in EOA and their respective state chapters.
