Future Leader Summit
PHCC Virginia invites AEC members to attend (or send representatives) to the Future Leader Conference May 9 in Leesburg, VA. This conference is designed specifically for younger tradesmen. There will be learning labs, guest speakers (including Roger Wakefield) and about 50 vendors. Anyone attending and staying overnight at the National Conference Center the night before (May 8) can attend for $25. All meals and breaks included. PHCCVA has reduced expenses for those traveling to encourage attendance. The discount applies to execs as well. Virginia is hoping to hand this conference off to another chapter or region next year, so this would be a great opportunity to find out how your chapter may benefit!
