The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Washington DC and Northern Virginia Posts are excited to announce the application process is open for the 2025 Leadership and Mentoring Program (LMP).

The vision of the Leadership and Mentoring Program began in 2013 under the direction of Bob Wolff, PhD, F.SAME, F.ASCE, former executive director of SAME National, and has grown over the last decade to develop leadership skills and professional growth of our local SAME Post’s young professionals.

The program is a unique opportunity for Young Professionals, Junior Officers, and Non-Commissioned Officers to be mentored by SAME Fellows and senior leaders from government and private sector while developing their leadership skills through focused educational sessions. The program includes monthly meetings with these industry leaders to discuss various topics regarding leadership and professional growth. A select group will be chosen to participate in the program, based on applications submitted, and can earn up to 20 PDHs over the course of the year.
