- Further enhance the knowledge base of faculty and students within the College of Business Administration
- Provide a forum through which executives can discuss their management philosophies, corporate strategies, competitive challenges, and the economic trends of specific industries.
- Allow for a productive dialogue among business students, faculty, and corporate leaders.
- Promote the spirit of cooperation between the College of Business Administration at West Liberty University and the Upper Ohio Valley business community.
