Emerging Leaders

Mission: The Emerging Leaders of Simi Valley provides young professionals aged 21 - 40 with access to networking events, education workshops and interaction with area business leaders.

The Emerging Leaders provides monthly events for young professionals to get involved in the community in a variety of ways.

Events include:
  • Community Connections: community leaders discuss their struggles and successes in their professional life to give young professionals an opportunity to hear their path to success, ask questions, and make connections with community leaders.
  • Service/Volunteer Project: Emerging leaders will participate in a volunteer project or service opportunity once a quarter to give back to the community and to become familiar with the various nonprofit and service organizations and opportunities available in the community.
  • Happy Hour Hang Out: After-hours networking opportunity for young professionals to grow their professional network and build relationships with others in the community in a relaxed setting. 
  • Coffee Break: An informal morning meetup over coffee designed to provide young professionals an opportunity to grow their professional network.
The Emerging Leaders are run by a committee of volunteers who work to provide beneficial networking events and meaningful connections to support young professionals in the community.
