ALEXANDRIA, Va.—NACS has announced that the three summer Executive Education programs will be postponed until the fall. NACS continues to actively monitor the coronavirus outbreak with guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and its educational partners.
“Given the uncertainty of travel restrictions and guidance on social distancing through the summer, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the three Executive Education programs taking place in July and August,” said Erin Pressley, NACS vice president of education and media. “It is simply not possible to deliver the value we strive to give at these events in a responsible way under the current public health circumstances.”
All three programs will take place in their originally scheduled locations. Here are the new dates:
- Financial Leadership is now taking place November 1-6 (originally July 12-17) at The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
- Marketing Leadership is now taking place November 1-6 (originally July 19-24) at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
- Executive Leadership is now taking place November 1-5 (originally August 2-6) at the Dyson School at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.
The Women’s Leadership (October 25-30 at the Yale School of Management at Yale University in New Haven, Conn.) and Innovation Leadership (November 1-6 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Mass.) programs will continued as scheduled.
“Each program has been collaboratively designed by business experts, retail leaders and Ivy League professors to provide an exceptional and unique experience for NACS members,” said Henry Armour, Ph.D., president and CEO of NACS. “And treated holistically, they act as a customized, convenience industry MBA—forging the nimble, adaptive, forward-thinking leaders we need.”
