The Emerging Leaders Council
Founded in 1997, the Emerging Leaders Council is made up of volunteers and emerging leaders united by determination and dedication to educating our communities in the prevention, treatment and cure for digestive diseases. In collaboration with the Board of Directors, we focus on funding leading-edge research by supporting diverse physicians and scientists early in their careers.
The Emerging Leaders Council (ELC) is committed to advancing research to prevent, treat, and cure digestive diseases. Working alongside the Board of Directors, the ELC funds innovative research by supporting a diverse group of physicians and scientists at the early stages of their careers.
Join us on Saturday, January 18th for Gut Moving 2025 at Studio Three. We will “Gut Moving” with spin and yoga in support of life-changing research.
