NWA Emerging Leaders Mixer
Join us on Friday, January 22st by dropping in between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. at the Prime Bar at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Rogers for a Northwest Arkansas Emerging Leaders Mixer. If you joined NWAEL in 2009 and haven’t yet had a chance to really get involved by attending an event or joining a workgroup, this mixer is a perfect opportunity for you to get to know other emerging leaders and learn about NWAEL in a relaxed atmosphere. For more information, contact communications@nwalead.com.
Mark your calendars now and invite a friend or colleague!

LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITES
One of the reasons for forming the NWA Emerging Leaders program was to link ready, willing and able emerging leaders in our community with opportunities for leadership through public and private boards and commissions and even political office. Please note that the opportunities we share are for leadership positions, rather than opportunities to volunteer. Many worthwhile organizations throughout the community such as the United Way www.unitedwaynwa.orgpublicize
opportunities to volunteer with numerous worthwhile philanthropic organizations. The goal of NWA Emerging Leaders is to apprise of you of opportunities for leadership development and service. Two such opportunities are listed below – watch for additional chances to lead in future email updates.
NWA Emerging Leaders Steering Committee
The NWAEL Steering Committee seeks an additional member for 2010 service. In particular, an individual with an interest or experience in programming or events would be ideal. Candidates must be current, preferably active members of NWA Emerging Leaders and will have a track record of professional involvement. The Steering Committee meets on the second Wednesday of each month over lunch and requires 60% attendance, and steering committee members have additional involvement with workgroups
and other commitments. For additional information contact chair@NWALead.com.
Support Students & Teachers: Join the Chamber’s Education Committee
