Executives' Club Expands Program to Support CIBC US Team Member Growth and Advance Business Leadership and Community Engagement

CHICAGO, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Executives' Club of Chicago and CIBC have announced plans to extend membership opportunities and leadership programs to senior leaders across the United States. Eligible CIBC US team members will now have access to enhanced growth and development resources designed to prioritize growth and empower these leaders at every stage of their career journey.

This membership is one of the many ways CIBC is investing directly in its people — helping team members grow as leaders, connect with peers, and bring new insights back to their teams and clients. As one of the Club's largest enterprise members and Presenting Partner for several flagship programs, CIBC's engagement exemplifies how organizations can support employee success and well-being, while contributing to a thriving business community.

Through this expanded program, CIBC employees now have access to a curated portfolio of Exec Club offerings — from intimate Leadership Circles and mentoring to national virtual convenings and market-specific activations. This approach builds on CIBC's longstanding belief that investing in team members creates stronger businesses and stronger communities.

"Empowering our team members through these offerings supports CIBC's commitment to learning, inclusion, and service," said Shawn Beber, President and CEO, CIBC Bank USA. "At CIBC, we believe that investing in our people is key to driving sustainable growth and making a meaningful impact in our communities."

For the Executives' Club, the expanded program underscores its evolving role as a platform for connection and business insights at the speed of culture.

"More than our marquee programs and insightful conversations — which we happen to do really well! — the Club challenges, inspires, and activates leaders to shape business and our world," said Dorri McWhorter, President & CEO, Executives' Club. "With institutions like CIBC, we're able to scale this impact across geographies, industries, and leadership levels — empowering leaders everywhere to move their businesses forward."

Among the first activations of the deepened relationship, CIBC will serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the Executives' Club's upcoming Captains of the Course: The Playbook for Pressure, Power & Performance program, featuring 2026 Presidents Cup captains Geoff Ogilvy and Brant Snedeker, and Executive Director Joie Chitwood III, moderated by WGN Sports Anchor & Reporter Kaitlin Sharkey. The conversation will convene Chicago's business community around leadership lessons drawn from the global stage of professional golf.
