Developing the next generation of leaders is vital to the automotive industry. SAE International
recognizes the importance of providing unique settings where young professionals can learn.
As part of the initiative to promote yP activity at World Congress, IAV Automotive Engineering
will sponsor the "Leadership Lessons" young Professional Luncheon to encourage an open
forum discussion for yPs to engage accomplished industry professionals. The event will provide
an opportunity for a group of industry experts to answer questions like: What is your brand?
how did you end up where you are today? What and/or who taught you leadership? What are
current leaders looking for from yPs? What do organizations need from yPs? Other topics like
volunteer history, mistakes made, and accounts of personal and professional development will
also be discussed.
