 The Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) by NCDD aims to cultivate the next generation of leaders in dialogue, deliberation, and public engagement. Launched after the NCDD 2014 conference, the ELI provides resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to individuals 35 and under, as well as newcomers to the field. Key features include discounted memberships, scholarships, interactive calls, and a variety of online platforms for connection and collaboration. The initiative seeks to support and elevate emerging leaders by facilitating their involvement and growth within the field. Read the blog post below and find more information here. What is the Emerging Leaders Initiative?
NCDD’s Emerging Leaders Initiative is an exciting endeavor that we have been building since our NCDD 2014 conference on Democracy for the Next Generation. The ELI emerged from the NCDD members’ recognition of our need to foster long-term resilience for the field of dialogue & deliberation and that we can do that best by intentionally cultivating our field’s next generation of leadership. To that end, NCDD has developed the Emerging Leaders Initiative as an effort to provide extra resources and support to rising leaders in our field and to create more “on ramps” into the dialogue, deliberation, and public engagement field, especially for young people 35 and under. At the same time, the initiative will also provide support to any newcomers to the field, no matter their age, in addition to helping facilitate collaborations and connections among D&D efforts that involve or focus on young people. The ELI is focused on offering resources that will support younger and newer people in their efforts to become more involved in the world of D&D, connecting them with opportunities to build their capacity as D&D practitioners, scholars, and professionals while lifting up the contributions, innovation, and leadership of the emerging leaders in our field. To accomplish these goals, NCDD will be:
The Emerging Leaders Initiative will continue to develop, and as it evolves, we plan to keep adding resources and opportunities curated for new and rising leaders in D&D. For now, we encourage you to check out the ELI resources below or learn more about what NCDD has to offer in our Intro to NCDD & the Field section. Resources for Emerging Leaders Emerging Leaders Working Group: This group is for people 35 years and younger, whether you are a student, young professional, or just wanting to connect with others in a similar period in life. It works to bring members of the Emerging Leaders Initiative together to explore ways that the NCDD network can support and lift-up our new and emerging practitioners. Find call information in the notes doc. Next calls:
Emerging Leaders Email Listserv The Emerging Leaders email listserv is a key part of the Emerging Leaders Initiative. It is a valuable forum for younger and newer NCDD members to network, share ideas and information, think together, seek advice, ask questions, and spark new partnerships with other young people who work in, study, or have an interest in D&D and public engagement. You can subscribe to the Emerging Leaders Listserv by sending a blank email to [email protected], and subscribers can send messages to everyone on the list by emailing [email protected]. NCDD will use this list to post info about job, internship, and scholarship opportunities in the field; share news and announcements about events and other happenings that are relevant for young D&D leaders; ask for input from young folks in the field; offer special deals on trainings and professional development; and more. We will also use this listserv to support a D&D mentoring program in the future, so be sure to sign up now. To learn more about the other discussion listservs NCDD hosts, visit this page. Emerging Leaders Discussion Group on Facebook The NCDD Emerging Leaders Discussion Group on Facebook is designed to be both a professional and social discussion space for young people in the dialogue, deliberation, and public engagement field, as well as folks who are new to the work. At the suggestion of some of our emerging leaders, we’ve made it a closed, invite-only group so that we prevent spam and the group remains a space with people who we know and have some level of trust and personal relationship with. But members are welcome and encouraged to invite other young D&Ders you’re connected with. We invite our ELI participants to use the group to discuss issues in the field, share links we want others to know about, talk about your work, and spark collaborations! NCDD will also share news, announcements, and info we think is important there, too, so make sure to turn on the notifications for the group (using the “notifications” button in the top right when you enter the group). Emerging Leaders Network on LinkedIn The NCDD Emerging Leaders Network on LinkedIn is designed to be a professional networking resource for ELI participants. We hope that it will be used to build an enduring professional network among the next generation of leaders in D&D and public engagement. It is also a space for talking about our professional projects, sharing job and/or professional development opportunities, and connecting with new collaborators and old colleagues. NCDD will also periodically share announcements and job opportunities in the field in the LinkedIn group, so make sure to check back frequently and turn on the email notifications for the group! NCDD Social Media Outlets We highly recommend that you also connect with NCDD on your favorite social media platforms. We especially recommend following us on Facebook and joining the NCDD Facebook Group, but you can learn about all of our different social media resources here.
