ISRI Industry Leadership Development Program

JULY 11-12, 2022 | WASHINGTON,DC

The ISRI Industry Leadership Development Program is designed to provide new-to-the-industry professionals showing great promise as emerging leaders with guidance, insight, and skills needed to build an impactful career in the recycling industry.


Topics covered in this discussion-rich collaborative environment are focused on:

  • What global developments to watch for in the next five years?
  • Why championing environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) matters to you as a leader?
  • How do you communicate with influence?
  • What does it take to create a culture of safety throughout your company?
  • Are there strategies to consider with your inventory?
  • How can you negotiate better?
  • What does it take to be a leader?
  • Why does serving your community matter?

Throughout the two-day program, participants will engage with nationally recognized thought leaders and industry business insiders representing diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Because the program is purposefully limited to no more than 20 participants, this is an opportunity to build your professional network of lifelong career connections and mentors from across the country.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Individuals new to the recycling industry who have been identified as emerging leaders or potential management candidates in their company.

This program will be delivered in English.
