"MAKING MONEY AND HAVING FUN, WHILE WE ARE LEARNING… IT'S OK TO BE INDEPENDENT, BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALONE.
We’ve had an outstanding response to the concept of CEOs meeting other CEOs, gaining insights from each other and sharing relevant information. Through speakers, panels, roundtables or the one-on-one exchange of ideas between CEOs, we provide our Members, with critical, up-to-date information to help them become more successful leaders and run more profitable organizations.
The club meets eight times a year for a half-day luncheon program. A member of one chapter is a member of all chapters. The morning is spent in roundtables and a speaker usually concludes the program. Other meetings are also scheduled with no speaker, or with site visits or with members from other countries.
