The Leadership Education for Asphalt Preservation (LEAP) is intended for AEMA Members looking to increase their knowledge of the asphalt emulsion industry and is aimed at developing participants in all aspects of the industry.

By exposure to parts of the business that may not be familiar, participants will be able to learn about other’s challenges and also other’s successes. The LEAP program will aim to engage participants and develop future leaders for our industry by building confidence and understanding in areas they may never get a chance to see. Participants will learn about project management during discussions with agencies while preparing road resource success stories. With a diverse participation, the class will develop work/personal relationships with members from different parts of the business that will lead to lifelong learning opportunities.

Whether you are an industry veteran interested in a particular area or are new to the industry, this program is for you! There are no program prerequisites. The LEAP program is a 12-month immersive program aimed at developing members of the asphalt emulsion industry.
