The Eastside Leadership Initiative (ELI) is a non-profit organization that provides leadership development and support to the residents of the Eastside of Washington State. As part of our ongoing efforts to engage and inform our community, we are excited to announce the launch of our new blog! In this post, we will give you a sneak peek into what you can expect from our future blog posts.

Organization Spotlights

Our blog will regularly feature in-depth spotlights on local organizations that are making a positive impact in the Eastside community. We believe that it is essential to recognize and highlight the efforts of these organizations and their leaders. These spotlights will provide insight into the organization's mission, goals, and achievements, as well as the values that guide their work. By doing so, we hope to inspire and inform our readers about the qualities that the community looks for in its leaders.

Current Openings

Our blog will also highlight board positions and volunteer opportunities that are available within Eastside communities. We recognize the importance of having a diverse group of leaders who can bring unique perspectives to the table. By showcasing impactful opportunities for individuals to get involved, we hope to encourage more people to take on leadership roles and contribute to the betterment of our community. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a recent graduate, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved and make a difference.

Success Stories

Finally, our blog will feature stories of individuals who have used the ELI platform to become better attuned to their community and develop their leadership skills. We believe that leadership is not just about holding a title or position, but about making a meaningful impact on the lives of those around us. By sharing the stories of those who have successfully navigated the challenges of leadership and made a positive impact in their community, we hope to inspire others to do the same.


In conclusion, our blog is a platform that will highlight the efforts of local organizations, showcase impactful opportunities for community involvement, and celebrate the success stories of our community members. We believe that by doing so, we can create a more informed and engaged community, where individuals from all backgrounds can come together to build a brighter future for the Eastside. We look forward to sharing these stories with you and invite you to join us on this journey towards a more vibrant and equitable community.


Connecting Eastside leaders with service, training, and professional development opportunities.
