UKGBC announces 2019 Future Leaders

The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has today announced the 2019 cohort of its prestigious Future Leaders programme.
future leaders 2019

Now in its sixth year, the 5-month programme brings together high-potential professionals from across the built environment industry to take part in a unique programme of leadership and innovation. It kicks off with a two-day residential later this month, followed by a series of innovation workshops, and will culminate in an evening of presentations to industry leaders in June. The programme takes participants on a journey to develop skills in personal leadership, collaborative thinking, business model development, innovation and storytelling.

Future Leaders provides a forum for tomorrow’s leaders to grapple with the most critical issues that the sector will face in the future, and challenges participants to work collaboratively to address these. Graduates from the programme are able to join the exclusive Future Leaders alumni network, which brings opportunities for continued professional development and access to a growing number of thought-leaders right across the built environment value chain.
