The Leadership Council is a group of preeminent senior executive leaders in healthcare. The Council reflects a remarkable cross-section of nationally recognized leaders, including CEOs and presidents of major health systems and institutions, prominent foundations, consultancies, and more.

Leadership Council members provide the Carol Emmott Foundation with deep expertise and wide visibility. They act as mentors, keynote speakers, and convergence conference panelists, and help drive the Foundation’s vision of elevating women to the topmost ranks of healthcare leadership. Fellows interact with Leadership Council members throughout the year.
