CEO & Management Roundtables

CEO & MANAGEMENT ROUNDTABLES

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2023-24 program year that will begin in April.

Connecting Executives & Creating Business Success

For 40+ years, thousands of business owners, CEOs, top executives, and managers have participated in various roundtables to discuss issues of vital interest to their businesses.

If you’re looking for a group that gives you feedback on some of the tough business issues you are facing and can speak from their own personal experience in similar business situations, then the CEO & Management Roundtable Program is for you.

The CEO & Management Roundtable program provides structured discussion groups of no more than 15 business executives, CEO/owners, team leaders, and management professionals. The same group of participants gathers in person each month in a confidential setting to discuss issues affecting their businesses.
