Echelon - A Summer Leadership Program
Many call it a “Summer Leadership Program”, but we call it Echelon. Echelon has been designed with acute attention to detail; therefore, selected candidates will exhibit that same excellence. Those selected will be exposed to a two-day program with our firm’s most carefully chosen class in classroom and team-building environments. This elite group will follow an itinerary that will guide them through personal development, interactions with staff at all levels, and Partner exposure. Additionally, they will receive best practices and industry knowledge, experience real-time scenarios through simulation, and learn the history of Rushton.
