APHL Emerging Leader Program

About the Emerging Leader Program

Empower Your Leadership Journey – Unleash Potential, Create Impact and Drive Change

APHL's Emerging Leader Program (ELP) seeks laboratory professionals from state, local, environmental, and agricultural laboratories who are brimming with leadership potential and exceptional qualities. Applicants should be ready to embrace strengths, unlock hidden potential, and thrive on constructive feedback.

Throughout the year-long journey, ELP participants immerse themselves in a dynamic program designed to strengthen leadership skills, foster team building, and cultivate vibrant social and professional networks. Together, we tackle the ever-evolving challenges and opportunities within public health laboratories.

And the journey doesn't end there! Upon completing the program, participants continue to connect with past cohorts, ensuring the ongoing impact of ELP and fostering relationships across regions to expand their network.

Join us in leveraging your experiences to empower your leadership journey and make meaningful contributions to the broader public health community. Let's embark on this transformative journey together, empowering ourselves and others, unleashing potential, and creating an impact that resonates far beyond.
