Announcing the ELF Think Tank

We are excited to announce the launch of a new pillar of leadership learning opportunities: the ELF Think Tank.  The Think Tank will launch with an information and feedback session on Wednesday, November 25, 2009.

The Think Tank will involve a subgroup of ELF members that will focus on finding a solution to a specific healthcare issue, with the guidance of an industry leader.  The output of the Think Tank may include a publication in an industry journal or presentation of your ideas to a healthcare system leader.  We’ll be providing you with more information about the Think Tank idea, but also asking for your input.

ELF would like to find out from you:
●       What topics are you interested in?
●       How often should the Think Tank meet?
●       What types of outputs would you like to see?

Join ELF to learn more about the Think Tank and provide your suggestions.

ELF Committee Member Recruitment

Committee Member Recruitment

ELF is continuing to grow, learn and expand in 2009/10!  We wish to expand on the successful launch of ELF’s four pillars this past year.

Last August we welcomed three new members to the ELF Committee to lead the Speaker Series, Guided Leadership Sessions and Development Seminars.  This year we are recruiting for two positions:

1. Development Seminar Lead – Beth Dewitt has done an exceptional job this year, but will be on maternity leave next year.  We are looking for a passionate and driven ELF member to fill her shoes.
2. Think Tank Lead – Next year we are hoping to establish a Think Tank, consisting of a small group of ELF members, that will meet regularly to discuss selected topics of interest in healthcare.  The output of the Think Tank could potentially be a whitepaper suitable for publication!
