At Elevate Performance we help leaders elevate their performance. This includes building up and supporting leaders in the nonprofit sector as well as in business. We believe that for-profit companies and nonprofit organizations both benefit when given the opportunity to learn from one another  Since 2006, the year that John Lewis and Tim McFarland launched our first peer advisory group (referred to as "Forums") in NWA, every Forum has had leadership from nonprofit organizations as members.  Soon thereafter,  we began offering scholarships or reduced pricing so that we could serve these leaders better.  We would like to further expand our scholarship offering so that we can serve more leaders in the nonprofit sector.

Elevate Performance is Arkansas' premier convener of peer-peer forums for CEO's, senior managers and promising emerging leaders.  We operate five CEO Forums based in Fayetteville, Johnson, Rogers and Little Rock and deliver two Accelerate Leadership Forums annually.  Peer to peer processing of challenges and opportunities translates into a leader making better decisions.  Since our inception, leaders have invested over 8,500 hours helping one another and learning from one another.  Ask yourself if membership might give you a new competitive advantage.
