Dia will close out the 2023 CLD Conference with a session centered around unlocking the commercial power of diversity.
2024 CLD Conference & NextGen Summit
2024 CLD Conference & NextGen Summit
Join us in Miami for CLD & NextGen!
The WSWA Council for Leadership Development (CLD) brings together the rising leaders in the wholesale tier. Over the past 60 years, this group and conference have evolved but the main focus of the council remains the same: provide a space for the future leaders to share ideas, learn about industry topic and trends, develop and improve leadership skills, and to network.
NextGen provides a platform for the next generation of wholesaler owners and presidents to engage with their peers from companies across the country.

Who should attend the NextGen Summit?
NextGen Leaders are any member who is part of the succession plan within a wholesaler company. Whether you are family or non-family, if you are involved with the succession plan at your company, you are part of this group!
