The Board Forum
|
Where CEOs, company owners and entrepreneurs discover opportunities, solve problems, share advice and crystallize visions in a trusted peer environment. The Key To Success The key to successful roundtables is to ensure the group is truly made up of 'peers'. “No one wants to miss a meeting. I have made decisions resulting in the growth of my company because the group asks the right, probing questions. Unlike a board of advisors or directors, which some of us have, CEOs relate to similar experiences and responsibilities. Each company has grown significantly during their time in this forum”. Jerry Goldberg, CEO JGE Enterprises.Member since 2001. Featured entrepreneur in the Boston Business Journal. “The Board Forum is an invaluable tool for success. With confidentiality and honesty paramount, chief executives are able to share advice, conflicts and discuss business situations openly among each other in complete confidentiality with CEO level peers. One of the greatest strengths is the accountability that we have with one another”. Steve Certa , CEO WatchAll , Inc . Member since 2001. Steve has been a featured entrepreneur in the Boston Business Journal. “When I describe challenges in my business, my experienced peers come up with smart creative solutions. They have no vested interest other than wanting what’s best. It’s completely honest.” Marylou Sandry, CEO Marylou’s Coffee. Member since 1999, featured entrepreneur in the Boston Business Journal. “The Board Forum is a way to look at something with no preconceived notions as to how things should be done, even if I like to think I'm right. I get a broader, wider perspective than I would if I were to meet as part of a manufacturers' group”. Skip Sullivan, CEO Electro-Prep Inc. Member since 2003. “What makes The Board Forum so unusual is that through it all - the good the bad and the ugly - we have stood together- acting as pillars of support to one another. I have left meetings with my heart still pounding . It gives us the opportunity to explore all aspects of success - because success is not always what fills our pockets - that's only a fringe benefit.” Lynne Davis, CEO Industrial Heat Treating. Member since 2000. Lynne has been featured in trade magazines. “The idea that a group of CEOs regularly get together and do both strategic long-range planning and solicit objective opinions from other successful business leaders has been a great place for me to be. For me the group is part networking and part problem solving. Even if you have a Board of Directors, it is different when you are with other chief executives who own their companies AND care about each other's business. It's a tight-knit group where people ‘get it”. Jim Bailey CEO JB Livery, admits that he “gets fired up by thinking about other people's businesses. “Having a confidential and stimulating atmosphere to discuss problems and opportunities with peers has made a major difference for me in managing the growth of my company.” Charlene Mastromatteo, CEO
The Board Forum Mission To provide a forum for issues that CEO's and business owners cannot easily discuss in the same manner within their company or perhaps even with their Board of Directors. The key is trust, experience and expertise among peers and facilitators - based on complete confidentiality and mutual respect. This characterizes THE BOARD FORUM CEO Roundtable. Join other CEO's who are reaping the rewards.
