Emerging Leaders Program

“I would summarize the Emerging Leaders Program as an opportunity to invest in individual development as you work toward building important skills to effectively develop strong teams and organizations that you are a part of.  The best part of this project was establishing a network of colleagues and friends from WASHTO States that we can rely on for years to come in professional and personal endeavors.”

“I came away with insights from the WASHTO Emerging Leaders Program that I had not learned before. I really appreciated having access to the WASHTO CEOs, as well as the other emerging leaders from the various WASHTO states. The program was extremely well organized and moderated by thought-provoking and knowledgeable instructors. The activities were relevant and useful and I have brought many of my experiences into my daily thoughts and activities. It was a true honor to be selected to represent my state and to be recognized as an emerging leader by my management, and I hope I can pay it forward through my own leadership and mentoring.”

“I enjoyed and appreciated the varied perspectives that the WASHTO Emerging Leader program employed and fostered. The passion, synergy, and collective wisdom of participants across the WASHTO landscape embodied both team-work and productive self-assessment to harness and cultivate the leader in me.”

“Before my WASHTO Emerging Leader Training, I didn’t see myself as a leader.  The program helped me see my true potential.  In my career at the Utah DOT I've done a good job of building roads and bridges, but now I want to do a better job of building people.  Thanks for showing me the vision of great leadership!”

"In addition to meeting and connecting with so many uniquely talented and inspiring individuals, going through the Emerging Leaders program taught me so much about myself and what I can do to improve and enhance my interpersonal skills.  There's not a day that goes by where I don't use something I picked up in the EL program."
