Center for Executive Succession

?? Last week, we had the incredible privilege of celebrating 10 years of the Center for Executive Succession! It was extra special to mark this milestone alongside so many who have been integral to our success—our founders, advisory board members, former students (now accomplished HR professionals!), and friends. Your impact and unwavering support have shaped CES into the leading voice in executive succession. During the celebration, we showcased a video highlighting the Center's history, growth, and accomplishments over the past decade. If you missed it, we will be uploading it in the next few days. Here’s to the next decade of growth, innovation, and success. Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re excited to see what the future holds! ?? #CES10Years #ExecutiveSuccession #HRLeadership
