The Excellence in Leadership Tour is a national leadership, innovation, and ownership platform connecting students, scholar-athletes, alumni, schools, corporations, and private partners with practical pathways for economic mobility.

What It Is

Each Tour engagement is shaped with its host. A gathering may combine executive conversations, hands-on learning, mentorship, career exposure, entrepreneurship, and education about ownership.

The format is adaptable; its purpose is consistent: help emerging leaders build the confidence, relationships, and knowledge to participate in the next economy.

What Participants Experience

Participants gain exposure to people making decisions in business, technology, finance, education, and community development. They can ask questions, test ideas, understand emerging opportunities, and begin relationships that extend beyond the event.

Experiences may include executive roundtables, workshops, mentor connections, innovation dialogue, and introductions to entrepreneurship and capital concepts.

Why Institutions Participate

Schools and partners can use the Tour to connect leadership development with career pathways, innovation, alumni engagement, and economic opportunity.

BWFF works with each partner to identify the audience, desired outcomes, and appropriate format.
