NACS has launched the NACS Executive Education Alumni Network to expand the educational and professional networking opportunities for the hundreds of people who have attended one or more of the five NACS Executive Programs.
“The NACS Executive Education series is the only comprehensive, multi-discipline industry curricula that offers customized, Ivy League training exclusively for senior convenience management. The Alumni Network extends this value by providing long-term connections and professional development for the leaders who are shaping the future of our industry and of retail overall,” said NACS Vice President of Research and Education Lori Stillman.
The Alumni Network provides curated executive-level content via newsletters, in-person networking events, live webinars with university professors, discounts to open-enrollment courses and an invitation to join the official NACS Alumni LinkedIn group for year-round interaction with like-minded peers.
“The NACS Executive Education program already offers an unparalleled, prized education experience. The Alumni Network provides participants with long-term connectedness and additional professional development opportunities to extend their learning journey,” said Stillman.
The five NACS Executive Education programs include: NACS Financial Leadership Program at Wharton, NACS Marketing Leadership Program at Kellogg, NACS Executive Leadership Program at Cornell, NACS Innovation Leadership Program at MIT and NACS Women’s Leadership Program at Yale.
Starting in March, participants of any of the five NACS Executive Education programs since 2017 began receiving invites to join the Alumni Network. Anyone who attended a NACS Executive Education program in 2016 or prior also is eligible to join.
Contact Brandi Mauro at [email protected] to request an invitation. The first scheduled networking event will take place in April at the NACS State of the Industry Summit.
