Applications are now open for the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) Emerging Leaders Coalition Class of 2026, which offers RV sector professionals an opportunity to engage in industry leadership and collaboration.
The application period closes on June 30, and selected individuals will serve a two-year term beginning in 2026.
According to a News and Insights report from RVIA, the Emerging Leaders Coalition aims to enhance collaboration, competency, engagement, inclusivity, and innovation across the RV industry.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to industry initiatives, provide insights on key trends, and work alongside established leaders to strengthen industry-wide efforts.
Members of the coalition engage with RVIA and other industry-related organizations to foster meaningful dialogue and initiatives. The coalition also works to promote industry developments through media outreach and discussions on emerging demographic trends and technological innovations.
“The coalition aims to strengthen institutional industry collaboration, competency, engagement, inclusivity, and innovation by identifying, recruiting, developing, engaging, and retaining emerging industry leaders and harnessing and elevating diverse emerging industry leader perspectives,” RVIA indicated on its website.
Applicants must complete the submission process with their supervisor before the June deadline.
A review process will determine the final selection, with the upcoming class announced in the fall of 2025. Selected participants will play an active role in shaping industry strategies and advancing professional development efforts within the sector.
