April 25 – 26, 2018
Chubb Conference Center, Lafayette Hill, Pa.

The ELAM Leaders Forum is a unique opportunity for fellows and their institutional leaders to discuss the wide range of organizational change initiatives addressed during the fellowship year. The core of the Leaders Forum is a poster symposium showcasing the outcomes of the fellows' Institutional Action Projects (IAPs) — the capstone of the ELAM fellowship year.

The 2018 forum included a special workshop on Equity and Vigilance that looked at actions we can take to help tip the scales of leadership toward more equity in influence and opportunity. The graduation ceremony included a keynote address by Lilly Marks, vice president for health affairs for the University of Colorado and Anschutz Medical Campus.
