Executive Leadership Council
As part of strategic planning processes, Naropa revised its leadership structure to successfully move Naropa into the next fifty years. Formed in 2021, the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) represents a new leadership model, one that broadens leadership over strategic initiatives to include more significant involvement of academic and student support areas. The ELC is charged with the overall accountability for creating and implementing institutional initiatives.
