The Executive Leadership Series, ELS, is geared towards men and women in both the for-profit and non-profit sector who want to become better acquainted with the people, places, issues and opportunities in the Capital Region.

The wheels of commerce and the paths of the community often converge in today’s fast-paced world. The Capital Region has grown and changed dramatically in the past decade. Senior executives need to fully understand the region’s activities, events and resources as they are today. ELS gives executives this dynamic perspective and understanding of our region in a series of five fast-paced and interactive sessions. Each session brings participants closer to the inner-workings of our community and the region’s “movers and shakers”. Roundtable discussions, exciting venues and hands-on activities add value by generating focused interaction.

Recent speakers have included:

• Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed
• State Senator Patricia Vance
• Harrisburg Area Community College President Edna Baehre
• Harrisburg University President Mel Schiavelli
• Harrisburg School Superintendent Gerald Kohn
• Anita Blackaby, Director, State Museum of Pennsylvania
• David Black, President and CEO, Harrisburg Regional Chamber
