DHS Emerging Leaders

DHS Emerging Leaders’ (DEL) mission is to foster a “Unity of Effort” through professional development and community engagement. Since its inception, DEL members have led and supported a wide range of professional, social, and volunteer initiatives.

DHS Emerging Leaders was chartered as an official, independent employee association (Directive 112-06) in July 2011 by a group of DHS employees formerly known as Homeland Young Professionals (HYP). DEL’s current membership consists of over 500 employees across all components and divisions.

Since its inception, DEL members have led and supported a wide range of professional, social, and volunteer initiatives including:

• Hosting Department senior leadership such as Secretary Napolitano (March 2012)
• Speed Mentoring Events – Connecting members to DHS leaders in facilitated introductory settings with the goal of fostering sustainable mentoring relationships
• Featured Speaker Events
• Networking Events – Peer level, scheduled monthly
• Volunteer Opportunities
