2010 Senior Leadership Network

 Senior Leadership Network (SLN) has been serving needs of business leaders in Tippecanoe and surrounding counties for 16 years.  Previously known as Senior Executive Network the group was “reinvented” in 2009, and not only changed its name but developed a plan to significantly grow its membership in 2010.  Anyone serving in a senior leadership role of a small/mid-sized organization is most welcome to join SLN.

SLN Goals & Benefits:

• Offer very good quality monthly programs, on timely topics, that provide learning opportunities to improve an organization’s competitiveness.

• Facilitate networking between member organizations.

• Provide opportunities to share leadership ideas and learn from one another.

SLN is a member driven group where members provide input regarding topics to cover in future programs, and other types of events they wish to have planned.  Membership is not restricted to manufacturing firms or other specific industry sectors. Senior leaders from service sector organizations are also very welcome to join and participate.
