ACEC Ohio Creates Rising Leader Program

Focusing on training for emerging leaders in your company

ACEC Ohio is excited to announce we are creating a Rising Leader Program. We are partnering up with Scott Heidner with Braden Heidner Lowe to assist us with this program. The ACEC Ohio Rising Leader Program is tailored for individuals with their Professional Engineering license plus an additional five years of experience that currently works directly with clients and shows the ability to move into your firm leadership track. In order to enrich the learning experience for participants, class size is limited to 20 people.

The Program’s committee will select suitable candidates from individuals nominated by their firms; firms may nominate multiple individuals. The investment for this training is $1,500 to $1,800 per member representative. The fee includes: registration for all sessions of the Program, resource materials, meals and breaks.

All participants completing the course will receive a certificate of leadership training. The leadership training provides up to 36 Professional Development Hours.

Each participant accepted into the ACEC Ohio Rising Leaders Program is EXPECTED TO ATTEND ALL SESSIONS AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES in order to graduate. We understand that emergencies/work situations arise. A participant may miss one session but is expected to make up the material from the missed session (approved by ACEC Ohio) before the next session of the Program in order to graduate.

Below is the identified timeline and sessions for the program. If you are interested or have a recommendation of a rising leader in your firm, applications will become available in Spring 2019. More communication on this to follow!
