Why have an Emerging Leaders program?
Laws and regulations are critical to protecting the three tier system. It is important for us to prepare the next generation of leaders to advocate for our industry in our warehouses, on Main Street, and at the General Assembly.
Who should apply to attend?
Any wholesaler who would like to learn a more comprehensive understanding of the history of our system and laws, how to effectively lobby locally and at a state level, and other critical advocacy skills so they can be more effective in business, in their local community, in their work with the association, and with political decision-makers.
