Emerging Leaders Program Graduation – Fall 2018

YPAL is proud to introduce the twenty-six graduates of its Fall 2018 Emerging Leaders Program. These twenty-six young professionals were selected to participate in YPAL’s twelfth Emerging Leaders Program presented by Jefferson National.

Over the past three months, these individuals took part in an accelerated and intensive experience designed to address the leadership development needs of young professionals. They finished the program with a clear understanding of their strengths, values, and personality in the context of being a more effective leader.

Their class project revolved around leadership and the qualities that an ideal leader should possess. Keep an eye out on YPAL’s social media for their project findings!
