Institute of Executive Leadership

Description

The Greater Rockford Chamber of Commerce (GRCC), in partnership with Rockford University, is proud to introduce the Institute of Executive Leadership (IEL), a comprehensive professional development program designed to cultivate the region's next generation of executive talent.

Participants will build expertise across a robust curriculum spanning leadership, communication, change management, finance, marketing, and operations, supported by peer mentoring and culminating in a graduation celebration. Through Rockford University, participants can also earn undergraduate or graduate academic credit, making the IEL both a recognized credential and a transformative professional experience.

For employers, the IEL is a strategic investment in succession planning, organizational stability, and long-term growth with direct returns for your team and your organization.

We invite you to be part of the inaugural cohort. Whether you're looking to develop high-potential employees or strengthen your organization's leadership pipeline, the IEL is built for the Rockford region's executive and business community.

Please note: the start date of the program is in the fall. The dates listed are for registration purposes only.
