Our Story
How ELITE Got Started
ELITE was founded in 2019 with the goal of creating a community to help solve critical leadership and technology challenges through experiences and expertise in your local network. Our concept began as gathering around 'round' tables to have discussions in small groups.
Fast forward to 2021 : We've grown to 200+ members, pivoted through unforeseeable challenges, and continued to build new connections through the community. While we were virtual for most of 2020, we look forward to taking a seat at the table with all our members again soon!
