Emerging Leaders Report 2008

Emerging Leaders is a committee whose members are based across over Canada. The committee aims to empower youth to enter and become leaders in the Community Economic Development (CED) sector generally, and to advise and advocate for youth engagement in the work of the Canadian CED Network (CCEDNet).

Last year, Emerging Leaders have developed and presented two workshops at the 2008 CCEDNet National Conference on “the Story of Emerging Leaders” and “Youth and Social Enterprise in Canada”.  Three members secured funding to travel to Quebec City in August and present the “Youth and Social Enterprise in Canada” workshop at the 4^th World Youth Congress, Regeneration 2008.

Emerging Leaders have also developed a draft strategic plan, which they continued to adapt over the year. Communication being a challenge for such a diverse membership, Emerging Leaders also set up a new blog (https://emergingleadersccednet.wordpress.com), and established internal policies for participation and communications.  Finally, Emerging Leaders were involved in helping set strategic priorities and developing program priorities for CCEDNet’s youth engagement work.

2008 was a year of significant transitions for the committee. Our Emerging Leaders coordinator, Dini Silviera, moved on to a new opportunity with the United Nations. We were excited to begin working with Meghan Mergaert in August of 2008. We also had significant turnover in our membership. In the fall of 2008, Emerging Leaders recruited eight new members to join the committee.

The young people involved in this committee have continued to push themselves to learn new skills and lead a group of committed young people in Canada.  Participation in different events and collaboration with other committees and organizations remain the most important way for Emerging Leaders to build their capacity as practitioners.
