Fresh off its 40th anniversary celebration, Study Groups is setting its sights forward. With a new CEO, a sharpened strategic focus, and growing demand across key industries, the company is entering its fifth decade with energy and a renewed commitment to its core values.
In recent years, Study Groups has expanded its offerings beyond its original petroleum focus to include peer groups for ready-mix concrete, HVAC, solar installation, and other sectors. It has also invested in deeper financial benchmarking tools, stronger facilitation, and more robust onboarding and support.
“We’re building on a foundation of trust and evolving to meet the needs of today’s leaders,” said Ben Scellick, newly appointed President. “That means investing in better tools, smarter education, and peer connections that create real value.”
Looking ahead, the company’s growth plan includes:
- Expanding peer group offerings in new industries
- Enhancing member education and onboarding tools
- Strengthening partnerships with expert educators
- Doubling down on its commitment to structured, member-governed meetings
“We’re not just planning for the next year—we’re planning for the next generation,” said CEO Dr. Jed Brewer. “We want to make sure Study Groups continues to be a trusted place for leaders to grow together.”
The company’s tagline for the 40th milestone—“Forged in Trust. Celebrated in Friendship.”—will continue to guide its next phase.
