The Peer Learning Network at Belmont University is a component of the Center for Professional Development in the College of Business Administration. The Peer Learning Network was created in 1990 as a result of a partnership between Clayton McWhorter, then chairman and CEO of HealthTrust Inc., and Belmont University. The Peer Learning Network maintains a purpose of bringing together top executives from Nashville’s best-run companies in a setting where they can learn from each other. Belmont University was designated as the “coming together” place where company leaders from a variety of fields can share problems and solutions (best practices) with their peers and learn from world-class speakers, creating a new network within Nashville’s business community.
