VTCA’s Leadership Committees are Seeking Nominations for Emerging Leaders

	VTCA Emerging Leaders join VDOT Richmond District Leadership to get a behind the scenes look at VDOT Operations

The 2021-2023 Emerging Leader Class is finishing up their program this summer, and VTCA’s Leadership Committees are now soliciting new members. Each of the four leadership committees, Aggregate Producers, Associates, Engineering Consultants and Contractors, select three emerging leaders to participate in the two-year program. The emerging leaders become directly involved in each of their respective leadership committees and several times a year meet with their respective peers.

The Alliance’s objective with the program is to develop and encourage long term commitment, participation, and support of VTCA through engagement with the Alliance’s leadership committees to introduce and demonstrate an understanding of VTCA’s mission, operations, and governance structure.

	Prior to visiting the General Assembly, the Emerging Leaders are briefed on VTCA’s Legislative Advocacy from the Alliance’s lobbyist team at Hunton Andrews Kurth

Typical Emerging leader candidates are member employees who have recently taken leadership roles and responsibilities within their organization or have a level of experience that places them on a trajectory within their organization leading to greater responsibility.

If you are interested or if you are a supervisor interested in nominating an employee, please contact the staff member listed below representing your membership category:

The value and success of the program requires the commitment of the participant as well as their employer to actively support their employee’s participation in the program activities.
