The Emerging Talent Advisory Council (ETAC) was formed with the primary goal of further developing and involving the next generation of emerging company leaders in the industry and activities of ELFA. Its mission is tied directly to ELFA’s strategic plan and is to improve how the association's member companies identify, recruit, develop and engage with industry talent that has the aspiration and ability to rise to leadership roles in their company or the industry. Among many initiatives that the Council has engaged in was the creation of Career Development Resources on the
Emerging Talent page.
The Career Development Resources provide a diverse range of articles, infographics and interviews to highlight the many different ways to pursue a productive and rewarding career within the equipment leasing and finance industry. Below is a list of published work from 2019.
