Twelve UAB employees recently graduated from the Emerging Leaders Series (ELS) spring 2025 leadership development program. The program, presented by the UAB Medicine Leadership Development Office (LDO), recognized its third cohort of graduates at a ceremony on June 5.

"The beauty of leadership development at any level is when a cohort engages with the content in a way that takes the experience to a higher level," said Kellie Carter, Ph.D., Senior Leadership Development Specialist.
