Empowering The NOW Generation

Future Leaders Committee

The Chicago Building Congress Future Leaders Program is a CBC initiative dedicated to developing its young professional members into the future leaders of the construction industry. By providing valuable network, career development, and community service opportunities, future leaders can hone the skills necessary for them to lead tomorrow’s industry, while also increasing their involvement in the Chicago Building Congress.

CBC FUTURE LEADERS SCHOLARSHIP

The CBC Future Leaders Scholarship invests in the next generation of AEC professionals shaping Chicago’s built environment. By removing barriers to education and expanding access to opportunity, this scholarship supports emerging leaders who will strengthen and advance the city’s construction industry. Created by future leaders for future leaders, your support helps build the foundation for tomorrow because the future of Chicago’s built environment starts now.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND FUTURE LEADERS EVENTS?

Future Leader events are designed for individuals with five to 20 years of experience in the construction industry who want to become more involved, build networks, develop their careers, and give back to the community.  They come from all walks of life within the industry…real estate professionals, builders, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, engineering firms, architects, labor unions, units of government, and providers of essential services to the industry, such as financial institutions, insurance providers, consultants, law firms, and accounting firms.

The Future Leaders typically hosts quarterly events.  The events are more informal than other CBC meetings, and are held at venues appealing to young professionals.  They cover a variety of career development topics targeted to their interests and provide opportunities to network with other future leaders as well as current leaders in the Chicagoland construction industry.
