Across the globe, companies that are vision-driven are investing in a pipeline of emerging executives who can help them build and secure a competitive edge in their respective industries. The Young Leader’s Chapter (YLC) of the Chartered Institute of Leadership and Governance (CILG) speeds up this time-consuming process by equipping up-and-coming leaders with a broader understanding of the global marketplace and a more integrated view of an organization. A leader must have a vision that is common and collective, far-reaching yet contemporary, reflecting the aspirations of every single citizen and the nation as a whole.

CILG’s YLC is an approach to prepare and equip individuals with leadership confidence, cross-functional skills, and strategic insights to drive meaningful change, ideas and innovations geared towards the proper and effective handling of societal values and problems.

The CILG is a professional body established under the law of the State of New Mexico, United States of America, to build and implement Leadership and Governance skills in the administration of professional duties. CILG is currently in 30 different countries across the globe.
