Every member begins with access to the network. Fellowship levels recognize the executives who participate deeply, contribute original insight, help create the institution's intellectual property, and become trusted leaders inside the community. Tier advancement is reviewed and voted on by members at quarterly summit events.
The levels create aspiration without turning membership into a transaction. Technical eligibility is based only on hard counts the website can track: sessions or summits attended, publications contributed to, and guest invite links created. Recognition is peer-governed: members review nomination evidence and vote on tier movement at quarterly summit events.
Fellows have been accepted into the network and are invited into the core rhythm of year-round executive intelligence.
Contributing Fellows are visible in the community because they show up, share meaningful experience, and help the network learn faster.
Senior Fellows have enough participation, publications, and guest invitation activity to be considered for a higher-trust member role.
Distinguished Fellows have reached the highest trackable contribution threshold and are then evaluated by members through reviewable evidence.
Levels describe overall standing. Badges describe the role an executive actually plays in the network, creating a more personal contribution profile.
Participated in executive research, interviews, surveys, or benchmark conversations.
Moderated, framed, or led Executive Intelligence Sessions and private roundtables.
Quoted in reports or contributed field perspective to briefs, yearbooks, and executive commentary.
Helped other executives think through AI leadership, organizational change, or implementation decisions.
Serves on a standing council and helps shape ongoing research, sessions, and community direction.
Leads flagship summit sessions, executive roundtables, or high-value member learning experiences.
Fellowship eligibility uses visible operational records, not a subjective score. Influence, leadership quality, mentorship, and judgment are evaluated through nomination evidence and member voting.
Instead of exposing a score, members can receive an annual contribution profile they can be proud of.
