Corporate Leadership Center

Corporate Leadership Center plays a key role in curriculum development and recruitment for its flagship program, CEO Perspectives, and leads networking events for CLC Fellows of the program, providing peer group experiences and ongoing leadership development.

Corporate Leadership Center was founded by Cheryl Francis and Sheila Penrose in 2002 to advance the practice of leadership. Corporate Leadership Center has subsequently launched Leading Women Executives to address the challenges and opportunities of business leadership facing female executives and their companies.

Community Scholarships

As part of its commitment to enhancing corporate leadership, CEO Perspectives provides scholarships for civic leaders each year.  The scholarship participants benefit from the program's leadership development while contributing valuable perspectives on the civic role of corporate leaders and the potential for public/private strategies/alliances.  Heads of museums, cultural institutions, universities, social service agencies, hospital networks and civic organizations have been chosen on the basis of their civic contribution and the impact for the candidate's organization, with a preference for diversity. 

One participant each year is sponsored by CEO Perspectives, through the generosity of the partnership of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Corporate Leadership Center.  Another scholarship is sponsored through the generosity of the McCormick Foundation in support of advancing their goals for citizens leading change.
