Alumni Project Accepted for Cleveland Bridge Builders Class of 2024 LAP Program

During 2023-24, EEC will be working with a Leadership Action Project (LAP) team through Cleveland Leadership Center’s Cleveland Bridge Builders program.  LAPs are community-based initiatives that will benefit from a deep dive of a cross-sector team of civic leaders over a 10-month engagement.

EEC was selected in July based on an application and interview process conducted by a panel of judges.  The team will focus on the creation of an EEC alumni program framework and platform for connectivity.  We believe a stronger network of EEC alumni will bolster our work and add another essential element to the regional ecosystem.  
 
EEC Board President shared her enthusiasm for the endeavor noting, “We believe a partnership with the Cleveland Bridge Builders program and a LAP team will be mutually beneficial as EEC’s mission is targeting the entire region and is not industry specific. The project will offer a very hands-on opportunity for participants to apply their leadership skills and broaden their professional networks while gaining a deeper understanding of local talent development and entrepreneurship initiatives.” 
 
Both EEC and CBB are excited to launch into this project!  Click here for more information on the program or contact Reka Barabas, Chief Relationship Officer: [email protected]
