Committee - Emerging Leaders
Mission
The mission of the committee is to provide a platform for professional development and is focused on members of the FWA constituency that are within his/her first 10 years of a specific career path. Please note, participation is not restricted to a member pursuing his/her first career but targets all individuals who are beginning new career development. |
Objectives
Our platform rests on three primary objectives. First, members enhance their skill sets in networking with their peers. These “horizontal” relationships are supplemented by the committee’s second objective, the growth of “vertical” relationships which is facilitated through the Emerging Leaders Mentorship Program. This program was established in early 2007 and constitutes the FWA’s only intra-organization forum that brings emerging leaders into direct contact with more seasoned FWA members who have been in his/her career for 25+ years. The final objective of our committee rests in skill enhancement seminars that focus on the development and practice of a professional skill set through lecture, role playing and other interactive procedures.
We believe our committee provides a the necessary resources for professional development and support that is essential to the success of any Emerging Leader
