The program seeks out those individuals who desire to become leaders in the industry. This foundation of this program is education that encircles the “three pillars” of the wall and ceiling industry: contractors, manufacturers and suppliers. This program is available only to members of AWCI.

The second class of AWCI’s Emerging Leaders Program were recognized at BUILD24.
The third class of Emerging Leaders was invited to and attended the Industry Leaders Conference 2024 in Hollywood, California. They kick off their official program in January 2025.
AWCI ended its membership year June 30 with 2,160 members. AWCI members hailed from 10 countries, six Canadian provinces, two U.S. territories and all 50 states.
AWCI has refined these relationships to ensure definable member benefits and clear guidelines for utilization. Members have saved more than enough through AWCI’s Member Savings Program to pay for their annual membership investment—and then some.
AWCI embraced the opportunity to extend invitations to college students about BUILD24: AWCI’s Convention + Expo in Orlando, Florida, and at the Industry Leaders Conference 2024 in Hollywood, California.
AWCI was excited to host a dozen students and their advisor from the University of Florida Rinker School of Construction Management at BUILD24. They attended the keynote presentations and the expo on March 26. A special thanks to Johnny Barnes and Corie Patton for making this happen.
At AWCI’s Industry Leaders Conference we were joined by students from Cal Poly Pomona and we want to thank Travis Winsor, Jill Reilly and other team members from the Raymond Group for making this happen for them. AWCI invited students from Cal Poly Pomona to attend the conference and to introduce them to AWCI and the benefits/career opportunities in our industry. A large group of AWCI members held a roundtable session with the students to talk about AWCI and the industry.
