Elara Alumni Circle

A Lifelong Network of Excellence and Impact

The Elara Alumni Circle is more than a network — it’s a movement of changemakers, innovators, and community builders who continue to lead long after their fellowship ends. Built exclusively for graduates of Elara programs, this circle fosters continued growth, collaboration, and influence.

We believe that once you're part of Elara, you're always part of Elara.

From industry meetups and closed-door roundtables to mentorship opportunities and speaking engagements, the Alumni Circle ensures that every fellow remains connected to the power, purpose, and people shaping the future.

Benefits of the Circle:

  • Priority access to events, speaking roles, and board opportunities

  • Lifelong mentorship and peer networking across industries and cities

  • Spotlight opportunities through Elara’s media, podcast, and blog platforms

  • Invitation-only leadership salons and strategic convenings

  • Ongoing career and partnership support

💬 “The Elara Alumni Circle became my personal board of advisors — I’ve built friendships, launched partnerships, and stayed inspired.”
Chanel D., Elara Fellow and Startup Founder

This is where leadership doesn’t end — it evolves.
