Deadline Nears for Nominations to Developing Industry Leaders Program

The annual nomination period for the Developing Industry Leaders Program (DIL) closes in just two weeks. It is not only a premier career development, but also retention support for those middle managers you envision having a longterm career with your company. NRMCA provides participants the opportunity to advance their strategic-thinking skills and network with peers while being mentored by NRMCA’s senior staff examining the industry’s big issues from an all-encompassing, national perspective.

Once selected, DILs work over the summer via conference calls and webinars. They are then required to attend ConcreteWorks in Nashville, September 29 - October 3. The group continues to work via conference calls over the fall and winter. They will present their findings at the March 2024 NRMCA Annual Convention. During their second year, DILs attend a two-day, networking and leadership workshop facilitated by an executive coach. Finally, once their initial work is over, individuals are asked to make a longterm commitment to move their team’s initiative(s) forward by joining, and attending, the appropriate NRMCA committee meetings twice a year as well as participate in annual DIL alumni events. Additionally, they may attend NRMCA’s semi-annual Board of Directors meetings to watch senior level executives deliberate and make both short- and longterm strategic decisions that impact the industry.
