The following information is to supplement the powerpoint update and describe the
outcomes of an investment in the Tier IV learning program vs. a traditional event.
The Vail Leadership Institute’s Vision Statement:
To build the Vail Valley into an International community of higher learning that delivers
meaning in the lives of thousands of leaders annually.
Goal:
1. Utilize the Town of Vail Tier IV funding to develop, build, and secure relationships
with institutions focused on providing higher learning for Vail Valley business
owners, healthcare professionals, and hospitality professionals.
2. Utilize the Town of Vail Tier IV funding to incubate a long term learning strategy
and elevate the “learning brand” of Vail in order to attract executives and their
teams from outside the Vail Valley for a destination learning experience.
Status: In the past 120 days our staff has secured a partnership with Cornell University
and their eCornell on-line Certificate program. The partnership includes a significant
discount for VLI members for a strong list of Ivy League Certifications including the
following:
o Strategic HR Management
o Business Strategy
o Change Leadership
o Executive Leadership
o Executive Leadership for the
Healthcare Professional
o High Performance Leadership
o Leading Customer Focused
Teams
o Managing for Execution
o Strategic Leadership for the
Hospitality Professional
o Supervisory Skills for the
Management Professional
o Plant Based Nutrition
Why eCornell? The team at VLI conducted days of research based on a few criteria.
VLI wanted to offer relevant Ivy League certification(s), through a world-class e-learning
platform, at a reasonable cost. eCornell offered the highest value and flexibility based
on all three criteria. This initial relationship will allow the Institute to secure other higher
learning partners and develop similar offerings that will tap into executives, corporate
teams, and alumni throughout the country.
Next Steps: Finalize marketing, press releases, and online enrollment by December 1 to
begin enrollment in 2015.
