Developing Talent Across ACORD Member Organizations

ACORD member organizations are leading a fast-changing industry – one that demands agility, innovation, and talent ready for what’s next. That’s why St. John’s University is proud to partner with ACORD to offer exclusively priced executive education programs for member organizations and their employees.

This ACORD-St. John’s partnership bridges the gap between learning and performance, helping organizations strengthen their people, culture, and competitive edge.

Drawing on the expertise of our Greenberg School of Risk Management, every program is designed specifically for the insurance industry – combining academic rigor, real-world application, and engagement with peers. Participants don’t just learn; they grow into leaders who think strategically, act decisively, and make an impact from day one.

Programs can run in two ways:

  • Organization Cohorts: We build a customized, closed program for 20-40 of your employees, aligned to your strategy and culture.

  • Member Cohorts: Individuals join from across ACORD member organizations to form a cohort of 20-40 and pursue a shared learning journey.

Either way, participants leave with practical tools, sharper thinking, and stronger networks.
