# ELC Local Chapter
Engineering leadership can feel like a lonely journey filled with painful challenges. But the truth is you’re not alone! We’re creating a place for local engineering leaders to come together, share challenges, gain outside perspectives, and become better leaders.
Join us for light bites and drinks to help shape the future of engineering leadership in NYC for our first local chapter meetup!
We will hear from NYC Chapter leaders about why they decided to bring a chapter of ELC to New York. We will then break out into roundtable discussions. Possible topics will include:
- Communicating engineering to the business
- Scaling engineering teams for productivity
- Adopting/Resisting generative AI
- Imposter syndrome
- Leading in difficult times
- Relevance/importance of management in today’s tech landscape
Organized by local leaders:
- Funmi Oludaiye Managing Director (Engineering) @ Goldman Sachs
- Alpha Bah Senior Engineering Manager @ LinkedIn
- Tim McElreath Director of Engineering @ VTS
- Tom Eliaz VP of Engineering - Twilio Engage @ Twilio
