Our next Leadership Institute class will be February 16-20, 2025
about the institute
Each year, 25 emerging leaders will be selected from a nominated pool of candidates for a challenging seminar of peer learning based on the practice of successful home furnishings leadership. Fashioned after the prestigious Harvard Business School Seminar for the Young President’s Organization and Chief Executives Organization – attended by many leaders in our industry – the Institute is founded on the power and impact of peer learning gained through focused tutorial seminars. The Institute is for serious emerging leaders across the industry who aspire to greater achievement and who want to be exposed to new ways of thinking and problem solving. There is no other program like this offered in our industry.
