This idea requires research, an execution plan and strategy to achieve the project scope. At the Emerging Leaders Exhibition, a “Shark Tank” style competition, judges will select the best community engagement project supporting Valleywise Health. The winning group will receive funding to implement their project plan. All Emerging Leaders will work together to execute the winning project.
