Center Membership

The Center for Business Analytics seeks members from for-profit, non-profit, large and small organizations from all industries and disciplines who are interested in the successful application of analytics. We engage organizations who are willing to commit to annual sponsorship and will share their analytics expertise and best practices with other members.

Member representatives participate in a monthly forum facilitated by the Center to create a community to learn about current analytics and AI trends, tools and techniques. The monthly forums include guest speakers, discussions and networking.

Member representatives include leaders of analytic functions, key technical leaders and business leaders who support the need for effective analytic capabilities to drive business objectives. Representatives are responsible for disseminating information from the Center to their organizations, as well as coordinating contractual obligations with the Center.

In the below video, Kevin Kelley, former divisional vice president for Great American Insurance Group, discusses the benefits of membership with the Center for Business Analytics.

Member Forum agendas usually include an invited subject matter expert presenting and discussing a topic with representatives. Topics cover a broad range of relevant areas, from technological advances to organizational leadership.

Member Forums alternate months between in person and virtual formats. Locations for the in person forums include Lindner Hall, 1819 Innovation Hub, Member's facilities or other locations of particular interest to promote learning and networking opportunities among the Member representatives.

For those members who are unable to attend in person, live-streaming technology is employed to allow for remote participation.e with your text
