Meet the 2009 Rising Leaders  Gregory Schmitz Company: The Kirk Williams Company Title: Project Manager Years in Construction Industry:  3˝       Rising Leader Comments: “The Rising Leaders program has provided me with a detailed knowledge and approach to everyday business controversies and has helped me prepare for future dilemmas which I have not yet encountered.  It has also served as a networking platform with other individuals in the construction industry.”

The Rising Leaders Institute (RLI), supported by a grant from the Builders Exchange Foundation, is an intensive, 12-session program focused on building management skills and business knowledge of high potential individuals, and preparing them to serve as the future leaders in the construction industry.

Participants in the Rising Leaders Institute are required to have a champion from their company, a manager who acts as their mentor throughout the program.  Schmitz’s mentor is Joe Williams, project manager and safety director of The Kirk Williams Company.

With a curriculum developed for the Builders Exchange by The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, the sessions are taught by OSU faculty members.
