Education Professional Development

Overview

Professional development provides members with opportunities to advance their career paths through study groups (for NCIDQ, LEED and WELL exams), BLT (Business Leadership Training), and LMNOP (Leadership, Mentoring, Networking, Opportunity). We strive to support Design Professionals throughout all stages of their development in the industry to continue to advance, grow and support one another.

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP TRAINING (BLT)

BLT was formed to create a continuing education platform for mid-level designers. A curriculum was developed in conjunction with Pace University, Lubin School of Business for (6) Courses consisting of (2) classes each. Each class will focus on different aspects of leadership from marketing and presentation skills to business finances. 

Event Sponsorships of BLT classes provide substantial visibility, including announcements and introductions at each session ($2,500 per class). Sponsors may also have the chance to host an in-person class (pending feasibility and schedule) and receive an invitation to the celebratory graduation event.
