TEMPO is proud to introduce a collaboration between its Emerging Women Leaders (EWL) community and Marquette University's Graduate School of Management made possible through the generous support of the TEMPO Foundation and Marquette University's Institute for Women's Leadership (IWL). The Emerging Women's leadership program - Elevate - is divided into four comprehensive areas to ensure a holistic approach to leadership development, combining theoretical foundations with practical, hands-on skills. This dual approach ensures that participants not only understand key leadership concepts but also know how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
