Ali Glaser
Jerry Oliveira
On April 22, our NYNJ community will explore a timely leadership challenge: how to frame the “why,” business value, and leadership role for AI as work continues to shift.
Welcome to ELE's New York and New Jersey executive learning exchange led by Ali Glaser and Jerry Oliveira. This hub is designed for talent and workforce leaders to move beyond networking and into real peer-to-peer dialogue.

NYNJ Community FAQs

What to expect from the NYNJ community, who leads it, and how local connection extends into broader ELE value.

What does an ELE Metro Community Director do—and what does ELE handle?
View
ELE Metro Community Directors convene a small number of local live discussions and in-person exchanges for trusted peers in their market. ELE handles the broader support behind the scenes, including registrations, promotion, and amplification, so local leaders can focus on meaningful conversation rather than operational lift.
Who leads the NYNJ community—and how can I learn more about them?
View
The NYNJ community is led by ELE Community Directors who help bring together senior leaders for practical peer exchange around real business, talent, and workforce challenges. You can learn more about the leaders featured on this page through their ELE member profiles.
How does the “hybrid” ELE model show up in a local community like NYNJ?
View
ELE’s hybrid model means local community connection does not stay local. Conversations that begin in NYNJ can connect into broader virtual dialogue, published insights, and cross-market relationships across the ELE ecosystem. The result is a stronger mix of local relevance and wider perspective.
What kind of conversations is the NYNJ community designed for?
View

The NYNJ community is designed for practical, peer-driven discussion around leadership, workforce, and talent challenges that matter now. The focus is not passive networking. It is better thinking, sharper questions, and more useful connection around real work.

How can I propose a top-of-mind business challenge for a future NYNJ meetup?
View
If there is a leadership, talent, or workforce challenge you think this community should tackle next, you can submit it here: https://www.ele.llc/faqs/share-top-of-mind-business-challenges. ELE uses member-submitted challenges to help shape future peer-driven meetups and live discussions around real work.
