The Executive Leadership Council’s Gala Week consists of four concurrent programs and events for a range of audiences, including undergraduate and graduate students, mid-level professionals, enterprise-wide CEO’s and C-suite executives, ELC Members and more.
The week is anchored by The ELC’s premier fundraising event, the Recognition Gala, that celebrates scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students each year.
This year, ELC Gala Week programs and events will impact over 3,000 members, students and esteemed guests at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Maryland.
ELC’s 2025 Recognition Gala dinner will be held in the Potomac Ballroom at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, MD on October 2, 2025.
