What is the Future Leaders Program (FLP)?
ACEC Georgia's Future Leaders Program partners with top industry professionals to train up-and-coming leaders on managerial skills that extend well beyond the engineering profession. Attendees learn from an array of professionals on topics such as:
Build Firm Momentum:
Today's competitive workforce and ever-changing landscape pose new challenges for young professionals. It isn't enough to simply be good at what you do - the leaders of the future are innovative, well-rounded, and command respect among their peers. ACEC Georgia's Future Leaders Program not only develops talent within your organization but elevates your firm as an industry leader.
Registration:
Do you have an employee who is ripe for leadership growth? If so, register him/her in the Future Leaders Program. Applicants must be employed by an ACEC Georgia member firm. This year's class will be limited to 50 people; this program has sold out for the past five years, so register early. The deadline to register your engineer(s) is Friday, August 28, 2020.
Commitment:
The 2020-2021 Future Leaders Program runs from September 2020 - May 2021. All attendees must commit to attending seven two-hour sessions followed by a networking reception or social event. Future Leaders Program graduates will be recognized by their nominating principal and the ACEC Georgia Board of Directors during a final Graduation Ceremony in May 2021. Throughout the program, attendees will be given the opportunity to earn two PDHs per meeting for a total of 14 PDHs. Attendance is mandatory for all sessions (one excused absence approved by Principal is allowed).
Program Benefits:
The ACEC Georgia Future Leaders Program trains emerging leaders to meet the challenging demands of today's highly-competitive workforce and turns ordinary employees into extraordinary leaders. Being a part of this program is so much more than gaining PDH's or obtaining industry knowledge; it transforms the way young leaders think and positions engineering firms - like yours - for success.
