Emerging Leaders Breakfast Social at Little Guatemala

Tuesday | August 2, 2022 | 7:30 - 9:30 AM

The Emerging Leaders began in early 2019 when the Burke County Chamber of Commerce and the Burke County United Way came together to create a steering committee. Both saw a need for the development and support of the young professionals in our county, and more opportunities for them to connect, network and give back to their community. 

The mission of the Emerging Leaders program is to create opportunities for enriching professional development, networking and community engagement to young leaders in Burke County. 

Through networking events, volunteering opportunities and leadership training, our members leverage the powers of other young professionals to connect, serve, and grow both professionally and personally. Emerging Leaders is open to all young professionals aged 21-40. There are currently no yearly membership fees.
