ACEC/MA Genesis Leadership Education Program Spring 2026

May 4, 2026 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Building a professional career requires you to develop expertise in more than technical skills. In Genesis, learn about a range of appropriate protocols, values, ethics, reputation and relationship-building strategies to help you advance your career.

This course has 3 sessions on different dates, in-person only. Attendees are expected to attend all three sessions.

Each session is from 2 - 5 pm, please plan to arrive by 1:45 pm.

Participation limited to 30. Registration is first-come first-served, with a limit of 2 per firm. If there is space available after April 24, an additional participant per firm will be considered. There will be a waitlist.
