Leadership is an action, not a position. Research indicates that leaders are “mostly made.” This means that while some aspects of leadership come more naturally to some people than others, most leadership qualities can be developed.

One of the greatest benefits of attending a truly limited-enrollment residential program is the networking and camaraderie that occur outside formal educational sessions. This is why, unlike other senior-level courses, where participants must find their own accommodations, arrange their meals, etc., at the Banff Management Course, everyone is under the same roof. We have found that this facilitates networking and the formation of friendships with fellow participants.

Your course fee includes tuition, accommodation (room & taxes), breakfast each day, luncheon on day two, a hosted reception, refreshments and a comprehensive courseware package.

We have chosen one of Canada's finest hotels to host this event - The Fairmont Banff Springs is the perfect place to expand your management and leadership skills and renew your spirit and organizational commitment. With summer room rates at the 'Springs' approaching $1,500 per night, this course also provides a unique opportunity to experience one of the world's finest hotels in one of the most beautiful locations in the world.

Banff, Alberta, is 70 miles West of Calgary International Airport, putting it a little over an hour's drive on the TransCanada Highway. Besides rental cars and taxis, there is an airport shuttle that can take you to the door of the Banff Springs Hotel.
