Announcement of the EFCA Future Leaders Competition 2020
We are delighted to launch herewith the eleventh edition of the EFCA Future Leaders
competition. This event is open to all professionals aged 35 and under and working for firms in the membership of your national association. It aims at highlighting the talent of Europe’s next generation of leaders in our sector and at demonstrating the diversity and attractiveness of a career in our sector.
The competition also presents the opportunity for you, the Member Associations, to reach the FL population in your membership, and promote the added value of your national association and the EFCA network to both FLs and their managers.
The competition is enriched by the quality and quantity of entrants, which is growing year on year. For 2020, we aim to make this event even more popular. We would like to see at least one entry from each of the national member associations, and we count on your support to reach this target.
