FLG will host networking events, a leadership development and mentoring program, and industry marketing initiatives geared toward future leaders in architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate development.
Who can join the Future Leaders Group? Members who are passionate about masonry. Great at what they do. Open to learning and sharing new ideas. There’s no age limit for our Future Leaders.
