Emerging Leaders

Emerging leaders are young professionals age 45 and under who have made a decision to LIVE UNITED by making an annual contribution to United Way of the Coastal Bend of $250 or more. Emerging leaders are not only essential in meeting the basic needs of our community, they are also building the foundation for the philanthropic work of tomorrow. 

Emerging leaders engage in social, educational and networking opportunities with other professionals who share a desire to LIVE UNITED right here in our community.

Mission Statement:  To make a positive impact in the Coastal Bend by inspiring, educating and engaging young professionals to give, advocate and volunteer.

Vision Statement: 
• Connect young professionals who are committed to their community with each other and other likeminded professionals.
• Provide opportunities for young professionals to serve their community.
• Provide opportunities for leadership education and service opportunities that encourage members to lead.
