Emerging Thought Leaders, a collaboration of RMPHTC, CPHA, and RIHEL, propels public health into the future by debuting impactful, innovative ideas and the people behind them. Each compelling presentation in this quarterly virtual learning series provides novel insight for the community, valuable exposure and experience for the innovator and, ultimately, positive impact for public health. The series attracts public health professionals, community leaders, and other collaborators to cultivate ideas and manifest them into reality. 

Emerging Thought Leaders supports the professional development of each presenter. In addition to the exposure positioning each presenter as an Emerging Thought Leader, each presenter is paired with a veteran coach or mentor to strengthen leadership, presentation, and facilitation skills. 

By spotlighting presenters who are new to their field as well as veteran professionals with cutting-edge ideas, Emerging Thought Leaders is an inclusive effort to propel innovative dialogue within public health.
