AME Emerging Leaders

Make an impact in the lean community

AME Emerging Leaders is a leadership development program that enables lean practitioners to participate in problem-solving work groups, network with peers and serve the profession in a leadership capacity. It also puts participants on a fast track to AME volunteerism. The program seeks diversity based on geography, gender, ethnicity and type of industry.

The AME Emerging Leaders program is a 1-year commitment focused on professional development, learning and networking. Participants are nominated and selected to become fully engaged with the community through projects, teams and initiatives, training and volunteer opportunities. The intent upon graduation is to take a leadership role within the larger lean community and assist a new AME Emerging Leader cohort on their journey. The program is intended to cultivate the next generation of continuous improvement leaders, who will strive to achieve AME’s mission to share, learn and grow.

Program benefits include:

  • Two AME International Conferences
  • Complementary virtual summit access
  • AME Champions Club collaboration
  • Lean 101 training
  • Lean Boot Camp training (Yellow Belt)
  • Regional shared learning opportunities
  • Cultivating lean practices
  • Preparation and training to take a leading role in the lean community
