CHICAGO, July 17, 2018 – BAI announced 40 young professionals have been selected to join the BAI Emerging Leaders Network as part of its early acceptance program. BAI is still accepting applications now through July 25, 2018.

The BAI Emerging Leaders Network is a selective professional development network dedicated to fostering the growth of future leaders who will drive positive change in the financial services industry. This network provides learning, mentoring, networking and recognition opportunities to aid in the development and career success of the Emerging Leaders.

High potential leaders selected to be part of the BAI Emerging Leaders Network come from various types and sizes of financial services companies. The full list of early acceptance Emerging Leaders can be found here.

Highlighted benefits include complimentary registration for these Emerging Leaders and their mentors to attend BAI Beacon in October in Orlando, FL for a truly unique learning and networking experience.

“The future of our industry rests on the shoulders of up-and-coming talent, and it is our responsibility as leaders to provide opportunities that expand their professional networks, fine-tune their business acumen through mentoring and cultivate the full potential of this talented next generation,” said Debbie Bianucci, president and CEO of BAI. “Based on the large number of very impressive applications we have received thus far, it is clear and exciting that many financial services companies have placed a priority on developing and recognizing their rising stars, and BAI is proud to help these standouts actualize their aspirations and move the industry forward.”

The network will recognize 100 up-and-coming financial services leaders with less than 10 years of experience in the industry. Applications will be accepted through July 25, 2018.
