The American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame has issued the final call to nominate future leaders for the 2025 Home Furnishings Leadership Institute. The annual event, now in its fourth year, will be held Feb. 16-20, at High Point University.
The class for each year’s Institute is limited to 25 emerging leaders who are under 40 years old and selected based on competitive nominations from across the industry. It is fashioned after the prestigious Harvard Business School Seminar for the Young President’s Organization and Chief Executives Organization that is attended by many leaders in the home furnishings industry.
“Each year, the Leadership Institute introduces all-new topics and materials relevant to today’s business landscape,” says Karen McNeill, Hall of Fame CEO. “It is executive education designed to be intensive, and it leverages the power and impact of peer learning gained through focused tutorials. The experience will accelerate and nurture the growth of leadership in the home furnishings industry by connecting hard-charging, emerging leaders across all segments of the industry.”
As part of the learning experience, each year’s Leadership Institute includes a series of keynote interviews and challenge questions for interactive discussions with distinguished industry leaders. Throughout these sessions, Institute participants explore a central defining question.
Building on these discussions, the event also involves case study exercises that culminate in “Pillar Group” presentations to a panel of judges. In addition, select faculty from High Point University’s Phillips School of Business and the Nido R. Qubein School of Communications lead a combination of lectures and discussions.
