Emerging Leaders in Communities of Color

<a href="https://plus.google.com/115544143819010277985" rel="publisher">Google+</a>

​​​ The demographics in New Hampshire are changing rapidly. Not only are we aging, but also our population continues to diversify. The 2000 census data indicated that we are one of the most rapidly diversifying states in the nation. At the same time, a number of civic leaders in the state have recognized that there is a gap in minority leadership.

 Emerging Leaders in Communities of Color was created to fill that gap.

Emerging Leaders in Communities of Color (ELCC) is a 501c3, nine-month leadership program that was created in 2003 in response to a growing need for additional leaders who could engage with and advocate on behalf of New Hampshire's diverse communities. Its mission is to aid, support and empower our emerging minority leaders by increasing their skills, resources, and opportunities, and to engage community leaders in the process of cultivating future leaders. Monthly one-day sessions are held throughout the state of New Hampshire, and are hosted by community partners.
