Out with the old, in with the new. July marks that time of year when freshly-minted MBAs become GE’s newest class of ECLPs and begin the journey of steering the program through its next phase of growth. This year’s incoming class will be starting with a strong wind at their back and some great resources to tap into.

The Recruiting Steering Committee (RSC) has certainly done a great job supporting the broad strategic direction that the champions of ECLP have designed. As GE continues to expand globally, become more health-focused and improve its digital footprint, so does the RSC. This past year we launched the RSC for EMEA and started the process to localize our recruiting efforts and ECLP support for the region to be more responsive to current and future program members and alumni. We embraced the company-wide healthymagination initiative and positioned it at the center of our planning for the 2^nd Annual ECLP case competition (Darden, GW, Thunderbird, Texas, ND, USC, Carnegie Mellon…we are coming to you!!!). And we grew our digital presence even further with new and exciting changes to both eclpblog.com and geeclp.com. The video blogs, in particular, have been a great addition and really give prospective ECLPs and their families a first hand perspective of life as an ECLP. I don’t think we could have asked for better tour guides of Seattle and Minneapolis, then Catherine and Lou!  Thanks to everyone on the team for their great contributions and fantastic ideas!

We have already begun the planning for the next twelve months and are eagerly anticipating the results of the creative and innovative ideas the team has come up with to attract the next great ECLP class!
