Emerging Local Government Leaders (ELGL)
Midwest ELGL Project Assistant
About ELGL
ELGL has evolved from an informal organization of 16 “members” in September 2010 to a non-profit of more than 450 dues paying individual members and 15 organization members with four chapters (Central Oregon, Portland Metro, Willamette Valley, and Midwest). Our members hold a wide variety of positions from intern to city manager to attorney and represent the public and private sectors. We recognize that the path to local government leadership can begin in a variety of disciplines and membership is not limited to only those who currently work in management.
