All alums of the ELP, who are currently working at the University of Colorado, are eligible to be nominated. Self-nominations will not be accepted.

ELP is a university-wide program for faculty and staff. It is designed to identify top talent at the university and support them in enhancing their leadership skills and their knowledge about CU.

• Leadership of organizations, departments or teams
• Leadership of projects, programs and/or research
• Fiscal management and/or fundraising
• Student instruction

The award recipient and the nominator will be recognized at the Excellence in Leadership Luncheon and Lecture on Nov. 19 at Denver's Brown Palace Hotel.
