This year's ELTC is designed to give  participants skills to build high-performance teams that are innovative,  adaptable and able to successfully cross-collaborate to produce targeted  results.

The ELTC meets the professional development needs of senior  leaders in the field of equal employment opportunity (EEO), Human Resources  (HR) and diversity and inclusion (D&I).

"ELTC is a cost-effective and modest investment in the  executive leadership skills necessary to run a successful EEO program," said  Carlton M. Hadden, director of EEOC's Office of Federal Operations. "This  training will directly address core leadership competencies, ensuring that EEO professionals  have the executive training necessary to meet the challenges of our  profession."

ELTC offers many learning opportunities throughout the three  days. Day One begins with a workshop on political savvy led by Vanessa Phipps  of The Future Force Group, LLC, followed by a networking opportunity to engage  in more interpersonal dialogue. Day Two includes remarks on managing up from  leadership expert Mary Abbajay, president and founder of Careerstone Group,  LLC, followed by Bridging the Gap Cooperative Group Challenges that sharpen  performance by calling leaders to use their creativity and problem-solving  skills.
