TEP Admission Policy

Participants represent a broad range of backgrounds — industries, geographic locations, organizational size and professional responsibilities are considered. Although the number of participants from any one organization may be limited, firms are encouraged to send more than one executive. Admission is based on consultation among the three parties concerned: the nominating company, the applicant and a committee of the TEP faculty that evaluates the candidate's application. Notice of confirmed admission to TEP will be sent as soon as the process is complete.

Application Procedures

A candidate's suitability should be discussed with Nancy Stahon prior to internal company discussions and participants application.

• A company may request a reservation before nominating a specific applicant.
• Nomination of a participant must be originated by the participant’s organization.
• For additional application forms, contact Nancy Stahon, Director of Finance, at +1-434-982-2005.
• Completed applications will be handled on a "first come" basis. Enrollment is limited. Early application is encouraged.
