About Emerging Leaders
Emerging Leaders is a welcoming, year-round programming for anyone who’s “emerging” in their own way—within the Chamber, in the Southwest Metro area, in your career, role, or company. It’s not an age group; it’s a mindset. Our events bring together growth-minded professionals to share ideas, develop skills, and expand networks through casual happy hours, luncheons, and activity events. Whether you’re new to Eden Prairie, stepping into leadership, changing industries, or building influence where you are, you’ll find a supportive community here. All are invited—come as you are, connect with others, and leave with practical takeaways and new relationships.

Meet the Emerging Leaders Committee—the dedicated group of professionals who partner with Chamber staff to shape the vision, purpose, and programming of the Emerging Leaders network. Together, they help plan events, foster connections, and create meaningful opportunities for members to learn, grow, and lead.
