If you're a serious business person looking for better ways to plan, finance and manage your enterprise, the Chamber CEO Roundtables are for you.

The Roundtables offer you the opportunity to hear new ideas from some of the region's most successful entrepreneurs and to leverage that knowledge toward your own business success.

The Roundtables will focus on critical issues surrounding the start-up of new businesses, the expansion of current businesses and finding solutions to common problems faced by local businesses. Experts in fields such as banking, law and small business will bring the kind of practical knowledge that can have an immediate effect on your entrepreneurial efforts.

What are the CEO Roundtables?
The CEO Roundtables are a confidential forum which allow you to share the challenges and problems encountered by your company with a diverse group of seven to twelve peers. The goal of this forum is growth, expansion and increased profits for your company.

Offered only to top decision makers of small and medium-sized companies, Roundtables are formed using the following criteria: number of employees, sales volume, type of business and experience level of the CEO or principal.

Competitors, customers, suppliers or contractors are not placed in the same group with one another, and all Roundtable discussions are completely confidential. Meeting dates, locations, formats and the direction of the group are set by the members.

Who is a CEO?                                                              
The single individual with responsibility for the direction of your company and the authority to make final decisions.

The Roundtables offer you . . .
A group of eight to ten CEOs with similar needs as well as solutions you can use.

Discussions and speakers on topics such as managing growth, alternative methods of financing, strategic planning and motivating employees.

Seasoned professionals to share their expertise and experiences:

"The CEO Roundtable is a rare opportunity to share with others particular challenges I face and then get the perspective of other successful business executives."
      --Ron Klein, President
        Belzon

"Being in the CEO Roundtable has made me realize that I am not alone with my problems of running a small business. No matter what size our companies, we seem to all have the same problems and it si nice to vent and discuss solutions with others that understand."
      --Jill Coyle

I've never left a Chamber CEO Roundtable meeting without a "piece of information" I could see. CEO groups are made up of non-related businesses that have related problems. I enjoy it and we all benefit from each other."
      --Grace Schultz

Great forum with peers for focussed discussion. I always learn something new that can be useful/implemented in my own business.
     --Jerry Radde
