If the AE industry is to maintain a healthy balance of large and small firms, it requires a new generation of professionals who are ready and willing to step into ownership. However, demographic shifts and a lack of clear communication around what it truly means to “think like an owner” have created a significant gap.

Join SN’s Brad Wilson, in partnership with ACEC Ohio, for the final session of our 2025-2026 Virtual Lunch & Learn series. We will explore the strategic advantages of diverse ownership models and provide a roadmap for guiding emerging leaders through the transition process.

What You Will Learn:

  • Understand the benefits of broad and diverse ownership structures.
  • Identify the key information needed to make an informed decision about buying into a firm.
  • Recognize the characteristics of qualified future owners and learn how to intentionally build their path toward ownership.
