Description

Join us to recognize the newest group of leaders to graduate from the Future Leaders Program, a 30-year-old program that has helped to further the careers of some of the most talented and successful engineering professionals in our industry. 

These leaders were recognized by their firm principals as outstanding engineering professionals with the potential to advance. As many have done in the past, they sent them to ACEC Georgia to develop skills such as presentations and public speaking; effective communication in conflict; accounting basics; marketing themselves and their firms; risk management, and more.

Join ACEC Georgia staff, the ACEC Georgia Board of Directors, firm principals, and past Future Leaders Graduates as we honor and congratulate the 2025-2026 Future Leaders Class with a graduation ceremony and cocktail reception.

This year, we have the pleasure of having Anna Roach, Executive Director, Atlanta Regional Commission as our keynote speaker.
