PURPOSE
Strong leadership is needed today to guide companies through the turbulence of change, innovation and economic swings in our industry. Leaders not only provide the strategic vision for the company, but also ensure they take care of the most precious resource – our people. Good leaders set a culture that holds everyone accountable for the professional and personal welfare of each individual and the team as a whole. As an organization, ACEC/MW desires to build strong bonds in order to “serve the business needs of its professional member firms”. The ACEC/MW SLDP is intended to offer participants an opportunity to:
