We regularly have to sum-up -- or "Summit-Up" as we like to say -- some important aspects of our business.

Our Core Purpose:

"Support education...inspiring professional and personal growth."

Our Core Values:

• Teamwork and support of one another 
• Work ethic demanding efficiency, consistency and trust 
• Continuous improvement, never being satisfied 
• A level of service which requires aggressive helpfulness 
• Treat one another with respect, fairness and honesty 
• Foster education of clients and staff 
• Understand and anticipate others needs 
• Promote a healthy balance between one's professional and personal life 

 
Summit History

In 1997, under the leadership of Louise Silberman, The Summit Executive Centre opened its doors for business.  With just over 15,000 square feet of dedicated meeting space, Summit redesigned and upgraded the facilities to create an even more comfortable and distraction-free meeting environment.
