Why it's development

Peers, data and standards.

  • Confidential peer exchange

    Senior leaders rarely have peers inside the company for reorgs, layoffs or executive relationships.

  • Benchmarks

    Anonymous member data on compensation, org structure, span of control and tooling spend.

  • No vendor pitches

    Members don't sell to each other, recruit each other's staff or raise investment in Society spaces.

Request: professional development, Society of Engineering Leaders

I'd like to apply to the Society of Engineering Leaders, a selective professional body for engineering leaders (https://www.societyofengineeringleaders.com).

Cost
- $250 one-time application review fee, paid when I apply. Non-refundable.
- $1,600 per year base membership, invoiced only if I'm admitted. Billed annually.
- Nothing else is required. Optional programs would be a separate request.

What it's for
- Confidential peer exchange with leaders at a similar level, for decisions I can't discuss internally.
- An annual benchmarking report on compensation, org design, span of control and tooling spend.
- Member events, and eligibility for speaking, review and research opportunities with partner organizations.

Admission is decided by an independent committee on my professional record. Payment does not affect the decision. The membership is individual and does not transfer.
