Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics Fellows
About the AML Fellows Program
The Advanced Manufacturing & Logistics network’s (AML) mission is to support sustainable growth in the manufacturing and logistics industries in Greater Louisville. We do this through knowledge-sharing and collaboration, networking, advocacy, and our collective voice. The AML Fellows program allows promising manufacturing and logistics executives to connect with industry peers, witness innovation and thought leadership they may not encounter in their daily professions, expand their leadership capacity, and improve their business acumen.
The Fellows program consists of 10 sessions in a calendar year. Each session will last 2-3 hours and may be scheduled in the morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on the venue and presenter availability.
To assist in the development of deep networking relationships, AML will host socials and provide networking opportunities for the Fellows during the year.
Who should participate?
The AML Fellows program will cultivate and engage the best and brightest rising executives in Louisville’s manufacturing and logistics-related businesses. These executives, just below the CEO level, are not necessarily young professionals but are rising executives on the path to the top of their organizations. The program is the only professional development program of its kind in the region. Participants can be nominated or complete their own application.
Cost:
Investment for the program is $3900.00. If the program investment of $3,900.00 presents a barrier to participation, please indicate this in your application so we may discuss potential options.
The nomination/application closes on January 9, 2026.
