Emerging Leaders Program
We are thrilled to once again offer the Emerging Leaders Program at VERGE, this year sponsored by Verizon.
The Emerging Leaders program aims to empower a diverse group of up-and-coming leaders by giving them a front-row seat to the emerging clean economy. We define diversity broadly – including gender and race, but also those who have faced socioeconomic, personal or other barriers to achieving their goals. Recipients are hand-selected by the GreenBiz team from a competitive applicant pool.
Emerging Leaders receive special access to the VERGE and GreenBiz communities, including valuable networking opportunities with seasoned professionals. And the privileges continue after the event, as part of a growing network of Emerging Leaders, including receiving mentoring and access to the larger GreenBiz community.
Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants must...
- Have a demonstrable commitment to accelerating the clean economy
- Be a current undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited college/university or an early-career professional (age 18-29)
- Agree to write a short 100-200 word post-event essay about the experience, to be featured in a wrap-up article on GreenBiz.com
Timeline:
- Applications will be accepted through September 30.
- Accepted scholars will be notified by October 5.
