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.
Applications for the Class of 2028 will open this spring.

Once promoted, those same people must learn new skills. They must develop those skills required to achieve success through other people. These skills require a blend of personal and business education, joining peer-to-peer networks and obtaining experiences outside of their companies.
The focus of AWCI’s Emerging Leaders’ Program is to offer curated, experiential education that incorporates technical training, soft skills development and peer-to-peer learning. Through this training, we expect that participants will receive value unique to AWCI—value that they cannot get within their own organizations or other associations—while advancing their careers in their desired pillar of the wall and ceiling industry.
We believe the challenges of leading and managing organizations that serve the three pillars of the industry will require greater knowledge and leadership skill than ever before. The world is rapidly changing, and the best way to get smarter is exposure to more experiences that allows one to think beyond the constraints of not only their own company and its competitors, but also those businesses that play a direct role in the construction ecosystem. The network that can be developed through this three-pillar interaction may end up being more important than the shared educational experience that one may receive through this focus.
The program’s mission is to provide leadership training needed in today’s world to ascend and succeed into the future.
