ELGL Spreads Across the Country
“Think of it as a cross between The Atlantic magazine and Buzzfeed.”
Welcome to our new member feature which draws inspiration from Edie Brickell and New Bohemians. ELGL membership provides access to our job postings, events, webinar library, Resume Book, and private networking page.
Membership is free for students; $30 for individuals; $230 for organizations.
We’ve all heard the excuse “I’m too busy” so we’ve simplified our feature to illicit short, meaningful responses. As a side note, ELGL is adamantly opposed to the excuse, “I’m too busy.”
