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.
