ENP gives its members a unique experience by delivering a highly-collaborative session format with top-level speakers on inventive topics in strategic and relevant business practices. Rather than a one-time session, association meeting or “fly-by” networking experience, ENP offers its members and guests a safe haven for honest and revealing discussion around emerging trends and “next practice” opportunities. Over the course of a year, a full arc of strategic topics are covered so that ENP attendees–who comprise of a unique mix of the entire executive suite and its key advisors (CEO, CIO, HR, CFO, CMO, COO)–can look holistically at issues, gauge their personal impact, and examine relevant leadership applications. The ENP approach is aligned with the goals of its members. Its non-solicitation environment promotes long-term relationship-building and powerful connections amongst business leaders.
