Here is the critical information you need to know:
We’re selecting a group of 48 of Milwaukee's absolute best and brightest. Those that not only show promise within their field of work, but are actively working to impact their own community.
The ideal candidate has:
Are you on a leadership track within your organization?
Are you seeking to get more connected and involved in your community?
Are you curious about how leadership skills translate from the boardroom to the neighborhood?
We’re looking to develop Milwaukee’s next generation of civic leaders and if you answered “yes!” to any of those questions, we want to hear from you.
As an HR leader or corporate exec, you know that emerging leaders aren’t always defined by their age, but rather that moment in their career when they’re poised to do big things.
We’re seeking the person that’s leaving strong impressions on their company and in their community.
We’re not looking for corporate climbers.
Our ideal candidate is a rising star who is passionate and determined to make a difference, and someone equally interested in developing others as much as him or herself.
