Dalton Emerging Leaders

By Lora B • March 13, 2026

Introducing our newest Emerging Leaders Institute graduates! This cohort was celebrated earlier today with a ceremony marking their completion of our ELI program. After six sessions filled with plenty of challenging material, it's safe to say each of these individuals is even better equipped to serve the Greater Dalton area and beyond. This was a great group, and it's been an honor growing with each of them throughout the program. We'll see you all in LDW soon, right? Shoutout to Dr. Stephani Womack, Gita Harden, and Lynn Osborne for keeping this ship sailing smoothly, plus the many, many volunteers it takes to pull it off. To our Program Sponsors, Dalton Utilities and Mohawk, and the Supporting Sponsors, Dalton Box and North Georgia EMC, we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, all! That's a wrap on ELI 2026!
