Founded in 1976, TEI's primary mission is to provide 24/7 opportunities
for business owners to acquire knowledge, experience and resources needed
to achieve their goals. TEI is dedicated to meeting the knowledge and
networking needs of America's small and mid-market company presidents.
When presidents can learn from each other what works and can tap the
expertise of top level professionals who serve on our advisory boards,
they are better able to lead their companies to stronger profits and
sustained growth. This creates wealth and jobs, both of which are good
for America.
TEI's education programs, networking opportunities and business communications
are targeted at the presidents of existing multi-million dollar enterprises.
A growth orientation is a key criteria for invitation to Institute learning
programs such as the President's Forum.
TEI is composed of local institute chapters which are advised and sponsored
by local advisory boards. Serving on these local boards are: successful
business owners; professionals such as bankers, accountants, business
attorneys, investors, marketing and management consultants, and members from
those non-profit and public sector organizations with similar missions.
