Register Today!Step outside the conference room and into an experience designed for leaders who enjoying learning through places, people, and conversations that stay with you long after you return home.

This executive leadership journey through Milan, Reggio Emilia, Florence, and Rome blends strategic insight with cultural immersion. Over eight days, participants explore the roots of the cooperative movement, engage with international leaders, and gain perspective that sharpens decision-making back home.

In Milan, a global hub of finance and design, the experience begins with a welcome gathering and a private exploration of the Milan Cathedral—an enduring example of vision, scale, and collaboration. A session with the Select Florida Trade Development Office connects that perspective to modern global markets, offering a practical view of how organizations expand influence beyond borders.

In Reggio Emilia, participants engage directly with cooperative leaders and members to see how shared ownership drives sustainable success. This is where the cooperative principles move from concept to execution.

Florence offers a different lens: leadership through innovation. The birthplace of the Renaissance challenges participants to think boldly, reflect deeply, and draw connections between creativity and modern leadership.

In Rome, history and governance come into focus. The experience closes with space to reflect, connect insights, and translate ideas into action that leaders can take back to their credit unions.

This more than a business trip. It’s an immersive leadership experience designed to expand perspective, strengthen relationships, and reconnect leaders to the purpose behind cooperative principles so they return with bold ideas, sharper thinking, and clearer direction.

Along the way, you’ll gain:

• Global perspective through conversations with international leaders and institutions
• Cooperative insight from firsthand visits with Italian cooperative organizations
• Leadership reflection inspired by some of the most influential places in world history
• Meaningful connections with fellow executives in an intimate, shared learning environment

When leaders step away from their daily environment, they return with their most valuable insights. This journey through Italy is designed to ensure they do.
