Executive Marketers Leadership Circle
A premier, invitation-only peer network for the DMV's top marketing and communications executives
At a certain level, the challenges you face aren’t ones you can talk through just anywhere. The Executive Marketer Leadership Circle (EMLC), presented by Social Driver, was created for exactly that — an invitation-only peer network bringing together CMOs, EVPs, VPs, and Managing Directors from the DMV’s leading corporations, nonprofits, and government entities.
In an environment built on trust and confidentiality, members engage in candid conversations about real leadership challenges, exchange ideas, and build peer relationships that last well beyond any single event. In a world where adaptability is everything, EMLC ensures you have a trusted circle to lean on as you navigate constant change.

In Their Own Words
Rachel Vasey
Owner & Creative Director, Fresh TV
“I swore I would never join another networking group. Too many feel surface level. But after giving this executive networking group, EMLC, a shot, it immediately felt different. From my first event, it was real conversations, genuine people, and an energy that was fun, welcoming, and easy. EMLC is rooted in humanity. We just happen to work in marketing. The quality of the people, programming, and connections is exactly what I had been missing.”
