Future Leaders Network

Introduction

The EFCA Future Leaders network is open to all professionals in the engineering consultancy sector who are 35 years or younger and work in firms that are EFCA members.

Since its creation in 2007, the Future Leaders' Network has undergone several changes. The Future Leaders' Steering Committee, launched in 2012, no longer exists.

As of early 2025, Future Leaders' activities have been overseen by Sarah Edinger (VBI), Tatiana Stamou (HELLASCO), and Anna Zabielska (RIF), along with members from various countries and the EFCA Secretariat.
