The NFPA Executive Leadership Program is conducted in partnership with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and offers a series of in-person and virtual events for a defined cohort of participants that teach both the hard and soft skills that are needed for leadership in today’s fluid power industry.
The program’s fourth cohort will graduate in November 2026, and registration will soon open for the fifth cohort. Participants will take part in a series of in-depth learning sessions in 2027, beginning July 2026.
Topics, all taught by world-class Kellogg and industry faculty, will include:
- Executive Foundations
- Cultivating Culture, Values and Virtues
- The Strategic Framework Cascade
- Frictionless Execution
- Financial Acumen
- Strategic Negotiation
- Change Management
- Presenting with Presence
Tuition for the year-long program is $18,000 per participant. Second participants from the same company are $9,000.
This is a limited opportunity, and it sells out quickly, so if you if have an emerging leader on your team who would benefit from both the instruction and the camaraderie that this stellar program offers, contact Denise Husenica at dhusenica@nfpa.com in order to reserve their spot.
