FTBA’s Emerging Leaders Academy (FELA) is a program created for next-generation heavy, highway, and bridge construction industry leaders. This program is available as a membership service for FTBA member companies. FELA provides member companies the opportunity to engage individuals within their organization who are the next generation of leaders or individuals who exhibit the potential to become leaders, specifically executive-level leadership, with other like-minded individuals. This program will expose these participants to industry-specific knowledge from technical skills to soft skills.

Our mission is to ensure that individuals who demonstrate leadership have opportunities to expand their industry networks and develop as future leaders of heavy, highway and bridge construction industry.
