Columbus Chamber to launch CEO Straight Talks Program
COLUMBUS, OH (Dec. 6, 2011) -- In 2012, the Columbus Chamber will launch a new program to unite and empower the region’s CEOs. The CEO Straight Talk Roundtable series will provide a venue for business CEOs to meet and engage with each other, address their issues, experiences and challenges, and determine opportunities to take their businesses to the next level.
"Like an informal board of advisors, CEO Straight Talk Roundtables will challenge business leaders to exceed goals and brainstorm solutions,” said Somers Martin, director, business development services, Columbus Chamber. “Participants will benefit from the collective wisdom of the group and gain practical advice in a confidential setting. And because they will represent non-competing organizations, they can offer different perspectives and help discover new opportunities to accelerate their businesses.”
Each roundtable will consist of 10 to 12 business owners who will meet monthly for confidential sharing. These sessions will be led by facilitators, and the topics will cover critical issues including finance, marketing, employee relations, production and accessing new markets. There also will be opportunities to engage industry leaders.
Registration is now open for the CEO Straight Talk. For more information, download the registration form.
