About ELCP

​Open to all rising bankers in Maryland, MBA's Emerging Leaders Champion Program (ELCP) is a professional development opportunity for those interested in furthering their careers and broadening industry knowledge. Champions will experience the full range of valuable Association activities, boosting career trajectory and leadership skills; while having the added benefit of strengthening peer networking and learning from top industry change makers and advocacy experts.
Leadership training is the key to success.

The program is designed for individuals with less than 15 years of banking experience who aspire to leadership positions or currently have leadership responsibilities they’d like to expand.
A true value for our banks.

If workforce resilience is important to your bank, the value of this program cannot be denied.  By investing in the ELCP you can more effectively identify the next generation of leaders and ensure a more diverse, well-informed team. Our graduates are known for making better business decisions due to heightened engagement in Association activities and a broader understanding of Maryland’s banking ecosystem.  

 Program Components

  • Access to industry thought leaders via six curated "anchor" meetings on relevant banking and leadership topics
  • Specially designed professional development experiences
  • Participation in "Learn About MBA Day" in Annapolis
  • Participation in our Government Relations advocacy events
  • Attendance at a Professional Development event
  • Design and execution of a philanthropic or community service project

Program Expectations

​There are required events you won’t want to miss, with mandatory participation throughout the year (approximately seven "anchor" meetings in total). Meetings take place in-person at varying locations. Participation requires in-state travel and at least one overnight meeting.
