SALA Series
Information Services
An events and media-driven platform and community that brings together (and celebrates) purpose-driven leaders.
About us
Derived from the Italian root of the word 'salon,’ the SALA Series brings together a broad spectrum of senior-level business executives and influential figures as a way to connect, engage and spark change. As such, SALA provides an efficient marketplace for brand and business development amongst its members. Example programming includes: - Dinner Series: Intimate gatherings of up to 35 members at unique venues in key markets globally - Digital: Themed round table discussions of ten or fewer participants - Experiential: Both hospitality and community-driven experiences - Summits: Larger scale programs that bring together the entire SALA community Intrinsic to SALA's mission is to provide support for a group of extraordinary nonprofit partners; entities that also receive funding via the SALA Grant program; funds derived from individual and corporate membership dues. Another way SALA helps drive long-term impact is via the SALA Fellows program; a personal and professional development program for a group of remarkable next generation leaders from underrepresented minority communities. These Fellows participate in a dedicated yearlong curriculum and benefit from network connections with other Fellows as well as the community overall. Community and individual development is at the core of everything SALA does and stands for. Thank you for your involvement and support!

At SALA Martha's Vineyard, Kerry Chandler hosted an extraordinary discussion with Larry Miller, Chairman of the Jordan Brand, around the power of second chances. Afterwards Larry joined Dalen Cuff on the SALA Pod to share his story. Having been in jail decades ago and now serving as a leading executive at the Jordan Brand (NIKE, Inc.), Miller serves as a remarkable example of second chances. Among other things, Miller shares his rationale for writing “Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom” and more generally reflects on his journey from the violent streets of West Philly in the 1960s to the highest echelons of the sports industry. 🔊 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e6WQRZRg #leadership #community #reform #philadelphia #sports

Realizing and appreciating an extraordinary sense of place: the remarkable Martha’s Vineyard. As a shared point of connection (and lens through which to understand community), we engaged around the remarkable, award-winning documentary “Waiting to Continue: The Venezuelan Asylum Seekers on Martha's Vineyard,” a story of the 48 Venezuelan migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard from Texas almost two years ago. In addition to allowing us to consider the immigration issues we face as a country, the documentary showcased some of the extraordinary characteristics of life on this incredible island: selflessness, reliability, and love for neighbor. Heartfelt thanks to Heather Seger (Martha's Vineyard Museum), Sheriff Bob Ogden (Dukes County Sheriffs Office), Reverend Chip Seadale (St. Andrew's Episcopal Church), Beth Folcarelli (Martha's Vineyard Community Services), Brian Ditchfield and Ollie Becker (Circuit Arts) for making it happen. https://lnkd.in/eda_FudV #leadership #immigration #community #marthasvineyard

"What’s your cocktail,” was a question asked throughout SALA Martha's Vineyard. There were dozens to choose from but a few of the crowd favorites were the Casamigos Tequila Margarita and the Refresher, the Tom Collins (Tanqueray), The Faithful (Smirnoff) and the Seedlip Drinks Garden Mojito. Huge thanks to our incredible partners at Diageo. None of this happens without the shared vision and commitment from Rodney Williams and Malcolm Ellis in celebrating purpose-driven leadership from a wide variety of backgrounds and lived experiences. #leadership #community
