Emerging Leaders Network
Emerging Leaders Network believes in the power of fresh perspective and unique expertise. They are a diverse and passionate group of people who are actively engaged in the future of our Association.
Owning the Present, Empowering the Future
The Association's Emerging Leaders Network (ELN) is designed to educate and support owners who wish to advance their hospitality careers, especially within the Association itself. Whether you’re new to a leadership role at your organization or already leading your company and looking to expand your professional network and role in the Association, ELN is the perfect place to start. Leadership on Committees, Councils and the Board provide owners a unique opportunity to collaborate directly with IHG and to help drive owners’ returns across the estate. ELN is focused on three areas:

Building relationships
Members connect and learn directly from one another through unique networking opportunities where they can share fresh ideas and approaches to everyday challenges as well as long-term strategies for growth.

The future of the industry
ELN provides a platform for change, through which owners’ perspectives are captured and factored into future planning and priorities of the Association and IHG.

Personal growth and development
Members participate in specialized education programs and experiences to nurture financial and management skills and grow leadership profiles that help generate success.
