What makes the above noteworthy? Well, this was the date, time and venue when hundreds of ELSAs came together in their decade hues to create magic with the inter-generational mingling from the 1960s to the 2010s. There was an electrifying atmosphere, which we tell you was so contagious that even the hotel staff was moving around with wide grins almost as if they were also part of the ELSA crowd.

We would like to record our sincere thanks for Mrs. Charanjit Singh, Chairperson, Hotel Le Meridien and her entire staff for making it the most memorable evening with their impeccable hospitality, eye for detail and the most delectable food. We would also like to thank our Sponsors – Sheroes, Talentedge, DPS Gurgaon, Jaypore.com and Havas Media.

                   

Their support helped us organise an evening where we all came together to create magic!

How the evening spanned out

The EC and the volunteers arrived early and were ready to welcome the ELSAs!



The venue looked resplendent decorated in the decade colours. The memorabilia available at the venue added to the sense of nostalgia in the air.

The evening was made special with the presence of our Guest of Honour, Mr. Arun Bharat Ram (Chairman, Governing Body, LSR College) and other esteemed ELSAs, including Dr. Suman Sharma (Principal, LSR College), Dr. Meenakshi Gopinath (our Mentor), Ms. Naina Lal Kidwai, Chairperson, Max Financial Services Ltd., Ms. Satyavati Berera (CEO, PWC) and Ms. Pinky Anand (ASG, Supreme Court) and all the ELSAs who came and rocked the evening.

Launch of our app – ELSA Conncet and Knowledge Series

The Association also took pride in launching its own app – ELSA Connect - to enable its Members to stay connected with fellow ELSAs within an engaged community and stay updated on all the news and events at the Association. We thank Talentedge for powering the same for us. Timely newsletters, event schedules and various other activity details will be shared with the ELSA members.




The Association also introduced its mentorship platform in partnership with Talentedge.

To begin with, this will constitute a Knowledge Series for us ELSAs. Senior members from the Association and seasoned industry professionals will conduct these sessions.

These live webinar sessions will be open to all our Members. This will be another platform for us to engage within this wonderful cohort of successful professionals with an alma mater we are all so proud of.

We will shortly be announcing our first Knowledge series.

The highlight of the evening, however, had to be the ELSAs from the various decades sportily dancing to a popular song of that particular decade upto the stage. We had the

We just loved the enthusiasm of the ELSAs present that night. ELSAs are known to have left an indelible mark wherever they are but that does not stop them from letting their hair down and having the fun of their lives with their friends, old and new! We salute the ELSA spirit!
