NRMCA’s annual Developing Industry Leaders (DIL) program will accept nominations through Friday, July 15. The goal of the program is to broaden participants’ understanding of the ready mixed concrete industry at a more strategic, long-term level while giving them the opportunity to also work on a team with a diverse group of peers from across the country. This career enhancement program, with its accompanying industry mentorship, allows participants to not only make lifelong, industry friends, but to also gain insight into a specific national challenge.

 

The group will meet face-to-face in September in Nashville, TN, at ConcreteWorks, where DILs attend all NRMCA committee meetings to gain insight from senior managers on a wide range of pressing issues. The DILs then return home to continue their work via conference calls, e-mails and Webinars with their team. The DILs reconvene in March at NRMCA's Annual Convention where individual teams formally present their findings and recommendations during NRMCA’s semi-annual membership meeting. After that, the DILs are expected to join an NRMCA committee and attend the meetings. This enables them to learn how to move their team’s recommendations forward while also engaging with an ever-widening group of the industry’s senior level industry management.

There is no participation fee for the DIL program. Additionally, the DILs attend ConcreteWorks and the Annual Convention at a 50% discount registration fee their first two years in the program.
