Weston will be responsible for expansion and development of the Elon Executive Education program, which will help executives enhance their leadership skills, encourage strategic thinking and promote sound management principles.
Weston has more than 20 years of management experience with the sales and marketing divisions of several technology firms. He joined Elon after working as executive director for sales, marketing and customer service for Starta Development, Inc. in Raleigh, N.C.

Koury, Sr. Business Center, scheduled to open in fall 2006, will contain the LabCorp Executive Education Suite.
Elon Executive Education will also host a series of workshops for nonprofit organization leaders in Alamance County beginning March 31. The sessions will focus on specific leadership aspects unique to the nonprofit sector and discuss ways to improve strategy and delivery of services.
