On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, ACEC/MA launches our 11th annual Program for Emerging Leaders, our popular leadership seminar series. This moderately-priced, high impact program fosters emerging leaders in your firm by imparting specific skills and competencies identified by top ACEC/MA CEOs as critical for leadership success. Our carefully crafted curriculum addresses the specific needs of Massachusetts engineering and design firms and is ideally suited for engineers, architects, land surveyors, LSPs, geologists and other emerging leaders with approximately 8-15 years of experience.

The 2010 Emerging Leaders Program features an Ice Breaker to meet the class and a State legislator. The remaining six highly interactive four-hour sessions are taught by experts in their fields. The March 2 Ice Breaker will be held at The Engineering Center, One Walnut Street in Boston from 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM. After the Ice Breaker session, the other sessions will be held in Waltham or Cambridge, depending on the date. Both the first 30 minutes and the short break during each session are networking opportunities with refreshments available.
On March 24, 2010, we’ll hold the third session in conjunction with the ACEC/MA 2010 Engineering Excellence Awards Gala. Emerging Leaders registration includes admission to the Gala, which takes place immediately following the session. We’ll hold this session at the Residence Inn by Marriott, Cambridge and the Gala at the Marriott Kendall Square, Cambridge, a five minute walk. Emerging Leaders participants are encouraged to attend the Gala after that session.
