Construction Leadership Council

CLC

Our Mission

The Construction Leadership Council provides a conduit for general contractors, specialty contractors, design professionals and all others involved, to develop tomorrow’s industry leaders today. We promote knowledge and opportunity through networking, education and community service that positively impacts participants both personally and professionally in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Building the Next Generation of Construction Industry Leaders

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) was established to fulfill the need to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the construction industry, as well as in the association, both at the local and national levels.

The purpose of the CLC is to act as a conduit for participants to network, exchange ideas about work and the industry, serve local communities, and continuing education which includes both professional development and leadership skills.

Every year, the CLC Steering Committee puts on a variety of events. Through tours of high-profile construction projects, we offer a unique perspective of the construction process. By bringing in expert speakers, we give a broad spectrum of rising professionals a chance to hone their leadership skills. We strive to connect to our community through volunteer events and to our industry through outreach to our local student chapters and universities. Networking events will also offer these students and professionals a chance to develop their connections within the industry.

The CLC is committed to the continued success of the Greater Milwaukee Area construction industry. This partnering relationship among the next generation of leaders will focus on the development of individuals and the advancement of member firms, through the exchange of ideas and by addressing key industry issues.
