Nominate Your Firm’s Rising Stars for GBA’s Emerging Leaders Program

 

The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) is launching our next Emerging Leaders Program in 2025. Space is limited and the nomination period closes on August 31, 2025.

The Emerging Leaders Program provides future leaders of GBA member firms with tools, knowledge, and experiences designed to accelerate their growth and unleash their leadership potential. They will accomplish this through instruction, networking, and collaboration on a group project that will help elevate geoprofessional value. Past projects of GBA Emerging Leader Program participants include the GBA Podcast and GEO Kits, both of which are having a major impact on the geoprofessional industry.

Under the guidance of geoprofessional veterans, approximately 20 GBA member-firm professionals from across North America will work together for 18 months and be provided with business education associated with leadership, risk management, and business performance optimization.

Benefits to Participants
• Participate in GBA’s Annual Conference and Fall Leadership Summit – events that bring together 200+ senior leaders of geoprofessional firms to learn about business risk, share best practices, and improve business performance.
• Build camaraderie with fellow program participants and GBA member firm representatives through outstanding networking opportunities.
• Opportunities for group leadership dynamics and challenges, such as leadership without authority, will be available.
• Engage with and contribute to GBA committees and task forces, potentially leading to future leadership opportunities.

This short video explains why this is such a valuable opportunity:

The Emerging Leaders experience is an excellent opportunity for the rising star in your firm to meet, work with, learn from, and develop lifelong friendships with fellow emerging leaders from other GBA firms and your firm will benefit greatly from their participation

Benefits to GBA Member Firms

• Equip your Emerging Leaders with valuable insights and contacts from across the geoprofessional community.
• Optimize your Emerging Leaders’ performance and skillsets through interaction and training with other top-notch professionals.
