About
The Emerging Leaders Network consists of an energetic and diverse donor base cultivated by ACE Scholarships through the Emerging Leaders Network. Network members have access to ELN-specific events to collaborate with other young professionals, entrepreneurs and growing philanthropic leaders in the Denver community.
In addition to exclusive ELN events, members will have the opportunity to engage with other ACE Scholarships board members at larger scale ACE events including the Lobster Bake, Women’s Luncheon, and Annual Luncheon. Additionally, the ELN provides access to volunteer events and community engagement opportunities.

The Executive Committee is responsible for driving the ELN’s outreach strategy and fundraising efforts by supporting the Fundraising & Advocacy, Operations, Communications & Marketing, Membership, and Community Outreach & Partnerships teams.
In addition to ELN events, EC members have the opportunity to engage with other ACE Scholarships board members at exclusive board member only events hosted by the Associate Board, Board of Advisors and Board of Trustees.
