ACEC Arkansas held its Inaugural Leadership Excellence Symposium in January and February 2025. Leadership Excellence Symposium focuses on the administrative and people side of the business. Trainers provided personal insights, timely information and useful tools that enabled participants to expand their leadership skills and contributions to further their advancement of their engineering career, their employer, and the engineering industry. Graduates are well-rounded professional and community leaders who are not only capable technical professionals, but who also effectively and comfortably exhibit the people skills that separate them from the majority.
In this symposium, attendees elevated their ability to lead and grow their firms designed to inspire and inform existing and emerging firm leaders. Learning and networking at this premiere event challenged traditional seminar formats and integrates participatory idea exchange led by national subject matter experts.
The Leadership Excellence Symposium is like a mini-MBA for design and technical professionals and is an impactful way you can spend learning to build your career and your firm.
