| PACA's Emerging Leaders Academy - Here We Go! |
|
Yesterday saw the official launch of the inaugural class of the 2021 PACA Emerging Leaders Academy (PELA).
The classmates, our Instructor Greg Coker and PACA staff met virtually, made introductions, outlined the expectations for the 10-month program, openly expressed concerns and more.
Coker highlighted his "guiding principles" for the PELA class including building meaningful, long lasting relationships; the high-tech, high-touch format of the program; the "Rs" that will be covered - Reengage, Recommit, Reinvent, Reset, Rebuild; and expressed how all deserve hope, motivation and inspiration.
The pillars of the program were also covered during the online meeting - industry knowledge, geographic knowledge, professional networking, leadership development and enhancing one's trajectory. The full 10-month agenda was reviewed in more detail and the classmates had the opportunity to introduce themselves to each other.
We, the PACA staff, along with Mr. Coker, were thrilled to begin this brand new program for 2021. The classmates also expressed their enthusiasm to get started and the feedback for the program is already extremely positive.
Here's to a great year! And a very special thank you to our PELA sponsors - Civil & Environmental Consultants, Martin Stone Quarries, New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co. and Union Quarries!
