Celebrating Our Impact, Inspiring Our Future
The Annual Gala is The ELC’s most important fundraising event, supporting our scholarships, educational outreach and philanthropic initiatives and recognizing our mission, purpose, and impact in action. We will highlight business achievement, honor corporate and individual award recipients, and deliver more than $1 million to ELC Scholarship Program awardees.
The ELC’s 2021 Annual Recognition Gala will be a special celebration and the culmination of a year-long tribute to inclusive leadership. Following last year’s successful event, the Virtual Gala will be held on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 7:15 p.m. ET, followed by an After Party at 9:00 – 10:00 p.m.
