Senior Executive Orientation®

The Senior Executive Orientation® Committee was organized over 30 years ago to welcome new c-level executives and their spouses to the Greater Miami community. The Senior Executive Orientation® program is an immersion into the major issues facing Miami and introduces participants to top community leaders addressing those issues. Difficult problems such as transportation, affordable housing, education and workforce development, healthcare, immigration and urban sprawl are addressed as are the wonderful aspects of Miami that make us a great place to live, a world-class arts and culture community, sports and entertainment, tourism and trade, to mention but a few.


Mission
The Senior Executive Orientation® Committee organizes, promotes and oversees the Senior Executive Orientation® program which welcomes and creates experiences to orient newly-relocated or recently promoted senior-level executives, provides them with a rapid understanding and successful transition into this unique community, and equip them with the important connections and relationships they will need to be successful.   
 

Objectives

- Welcome new senior executives and acquaint them with the community in a relatively short period of time accelerating their feeling of belonging
