The DIL program runs under the direction of NRMCA’s Workforce Development Committee. Its goal is to support future executive-level talent development. While in the program, participants gain insight into critical factors at a national and strategic level. Equally critical is the opportunity to work on a diverse team from across the country. This peer-centric program, with its accompanying industry mentorship with DIL alumni and senior NRMCA staff, encourages participants to make lifelong, career friends. The collective group will meet face-to-face during NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks, October 3-7, in Kissimmee, FL, at NRMCA’s annual convention in March 2020, and gather for a summer 2020 capstone seminar before becoming DIL alumni. They, with DIL alumni, can also attend the 2020 North American Concrete Alliance Fly-In in March 2020 in Washington, DC.
