Emerging Leaders Network

The Emerging Leaders Network was formed in 2018 to provide NJBankers members under the age of 40 the opportunity to take their career to the next level and become the next generation of leaders. The Emerging Leaders Network offers educational conferences, unique networking opportunities, and community service activities designed specifically for emerging leaders.
