“Ask a Leader” panel
More than 65 up-and-coming employees from ELFA member companies gathered in D.C. in July for Emergence2019. The two-day leadership development event provided an opportunity for emerging talent to hear from industry leaders, network with colleagues and learn about the industry from different perspectives. In support of the theme “Think, Act and Empower Like a Leader,” the conference included sessions on networking, unconscious bias, communication strategies, mentoring and sponsorship, and the industry outlook. Sponsors included DLL, Key Equipment Finance, Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Stonebriar Commercial Finance, Stryker Flex Financial, Huntington Equipment Finance and the Emerging Talent Advisory Council.
Attendees shared best practices with a “catch box” passable microphone during a Q&A session.
