Emerging Leaders Council
The Emerging Leaders Council (ELC) is a select network of young professionals (ages 20-29) from across the U.S. who are rising thought leaders, influencers, and policymakers. This group includes 40+ aspiring writers, educators, business leaders, lawyers, filmmakers, and more. Since 2017, ELC members have been attending the Annual Freedom Conference on scholarship, supporting SI events, writing and publishing op-eds, and changing the hearts and minds of their generations.
With the support of The Steamboat Institute, ELC members are trained and educated on founding principles, media and journalism, persuasion, and leadership, allowing them to inspire their peers and create a chain reaction of engaged, liberty-minded citizens.
