The Corporate Executive Leadership Program (CELP) is a professional development and mentoring program conceived by the Ascend GW Chapter Corporate Executive Initiative. The program is a high touch, 3-month program, that provides candidates in senior leadership roles where the next step in their career is Partner, Principal, Managing Director, Vice President, or equivalent senior-level executive in their organization, with mentoring from DC area Asian executives. Generally, the application and selection period runs in late summer, and the 3-month program beginning in the fall.

We have completed several CELP Cohort programs with engaged and enthusiastic aspiring Asian Executives from Accenture, Capital One, CareFirst, Deloitte, Freddie Mac, HSBC, PwC, and RSM. Take a look at our inspiring cohort videos.
