    ELE's calendar is community-powered. Peers put forward the talent challenges they're working through, and the community votes. When 4 to 6 people want the same conversation, they pick a time and place, and it goes on the calendar.

    Vote for the challenges that matter to you, or where your experience could help a peer.

    Who are the Ambassadors—and how do I get one?

    Start by reaching out to the peer who helped get you set up with ELE—they’re often your best first connection.

    If you’d like to expand your network right away, browse the community directory and look for peers with an Onboarding Buddy badge.

    Don’t hesitate to attend an upcoming roundtable or design charrette together. They’re here to help you navigate the network and plug into the right conversations faster.

    🧭 Ambassador Bonus: Your buddy has a framework to help co-create your ELE experience—whether that’s acting as a sounding board for your branding statement or introducing you to the right working group.

    Skip the traditional, top-down presentations. The most powerful insights happen when leaders facing the exact same realities gather to reimagine the work.

    Think of peer meetups as the building blocks of your own subcommunity within ELE. Whether you need a sounding board for a complex talent challenge or a space to co-create a solution with an Ambassador, setting up a meetup turns a broad network into a tight-knit support system where you learn, share, and grow together.

    How it works: Propose a meetup with a conversation starter, and suggest peers who could contribute. ELE coordinates timing, registration and promotion. Allow at least a week so people can respond. What surfaces in these conversations helps shape what the community works on next.

    ELE is built on relationships. Start by updating your ELEfolio—adding your interests helps peers connect with your strengths and know exactly when to pull you into the right conversations. Next, expand your network and stay sharp across platforms:

    You’ll start receiving personalized recommendations when your interests align with upcoming design charrettes, roundtables, or peer discussions. The more you share, the more doors open.
