In 2014, the Board of Directors approved a FSCA Emerging Leader Program. The goal of the program is to develop leadership mindsets and skills for FSCA members to eventually pursue leadership positions within the association. A call for application is announced in the spring each year, and acceptance to the program completed by June.
Selected applicants begin their year term as an emerging leader on July 1 to June 30 each year. Application may be accessed in the Member Only section.
