Together, we help entrepreneurial leaders
Grow Bigger Faster
Our experiential, peer-based programs give growth-stage leaders what they need to succeed.
The Wallace McCain Institute was founded in 2006 with a generous gift from Wallace and Margaret McCain.
As co-founder of McCain Foods, Wallace McCain was a model of the energy, acumen, determination and leadership required for a successful business.
The family envisioned an organization that, “gives entrepreneurs in our region what they need to succeed.”
