The Charlotte Regional Business Alliance® is excited to announce the 2024 Emerging Business Leaders (EBL) Class 12 cohort.
EBL is the CLT Alliance’s 7-month immersive leadership and talent-development program for high potential, diverse professionals. The program is designed to enhance leadership capabilities and connect high performing peers from across various sectors in the Charlotte Region who will ultimately create a competitive advantage for the region’s workforce and economy. Class 12 will be challenged and motivated to go outside their comfort zone and take their leadership skills to the next level. Cohort members will confront tough topics such as polarity management, ethical leadership, leading through crisis, and much more.
“EBL is one of the CLT Alliance’s signature and most sought-after programs,” Chief Development and Investor Relations Officer Kari Hackett said. “It serves as a valuable supplement to a company’s leadership development, engagement, and retention efforts. We are looking forward to helping these emerging leaders flourish, and are grateful to our partners who help make this program possible.”
Special thanks to our 2024 EBL partners: Bank of America, Honeywell, NASCAR, PwC, Queens University of Charlotte, UNC Charlotte, and UNC Kenan-Flagler.
