Apply Today! https://lnkd.in/eDfJCqQQ What participants are saying: "The big takeaway I had from the experience was gaining an understanding of MITA’s Value.   Before going into the program, I was unaware of the impact MITA had on Michigan's infrastructure. The unity of Michigan contractors and engineers with a common goal of fixing the state’s infrastructure not only captures the ears of legislators and executives in the state government – but has them seeking goals that align with the PAC. There is definitely power behind the unity in MITA." Scott Kenney, AnLaan Corporation The MITA Future Leader Development Program is open to all individuals working in the heavy construction industry. Ideal program candidates are those individuals who have demonstrated leadership skills and are being groomed for advancement to upper management. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2024.
