The Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute is part of The Yale School of Management. Founded in 1989, the Institute provides original research on leadership and lively, current educational forums through peer-driven learning for accomplished leaders across sectors.
The Yale CEO Leadership Summit is the world's first actual school for chairmen, presidents, and chief executive officers, and is unique in five fundamental ways: it offers practical and timely knowledge from fellow prominent CEOs; it is extremely candid and strictly off-the-record; it is highly interactive; it is free of vendor sales pitches; it is intimate in size with a rich balance of experience among participants.
The institute's world-renowned CEO participants do not give or receive speeches, but rather discuss common issues in a confidential workshop format.
Dawson is the daughter of Mike and Jeannie Cantrell of Laurel.
