| Fundado | 1987 (The centre's about page states it was founded in 1987 by Dr Craig Aronoff within the Coles College of Business.

| Membro típico | Members are family businesses rather than individuals, at a range of sizes and stages; the centre notes that membership is expected to move between tiers as a business changes.

Company memberships bring whole leadership teams into the community. Published member quotes come from operating executives at privately held United States firms. |
