Class of 2021 Graduation (June 18, 2021)
On June 28, 2021, Society leaders gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of the LDP Class of 2021 as part of their virtual graduation ceremony. Eighteen participants, representing SAME regions and the International COI, concluded a year-long professional development program designed to advance the leadership capacity of SAME. They join an active community of alumni that continues to provide return on the SAME Foundation’s investment.
LTG Thomas P. Bostick, USA (Ret.), 53rd Chief of Engineers and Commanding General of the US Army Corps of Engineers, provided a tremendous keynote address on the need to stay resilient as they advance through their careers. He also challenged the class to stay true to their aspirations and maintain resolve when they know what needs to be done. The LDP thanks LTG Bostick for providing such an inspirational address.
The LDP provides a deep dive on various leadership topics through instructor-led webinars, monthly book discussions, and a final project. Projects fell into three categories: Adding to the Body of Industry Knowledge; Developing Best Practices; and Expanding the Presence of SAME. Their project work will ensure the Society remains a valuable resource to our members and our industry well into its second century.
Thank you to the SAME Foundation for funding this incredible program. And congratulations of this new class of alumni!
