Leadership Programs

Experience St. Louis

Since 1984, Experience St. Louis has been providing executives and senior-level leaders with an insider’s orientation to the region. For those with limited time, the program is a great way to get connected quickly and come up to speed on the issues, institutions and individuals shaping our region. 


Who Should Apply

If you’re an executive who is new to the St. Louis community, or have recently been promoted to a senior-level leadership position, Experience St. Louis was designed for you. Spouses/partners are also encouraged to participate. 

Like all FOCUS leadership programs, Experience St. Louis welcomes participants from all backgrounds, industries and sectors.
