What types of businesses belong?

Service, manufacturing, technology, sales and distribution businesses belong to CEO Partners. Members range in age from their 20's to their 60's. Revenues run from $750,000 to $20,000,000 with five to one hundred employees. The group is kept intentionally diverse to stimulate various perspectives. Group members cannot be direct competitors, and no major supplier relationships are allowed in the same group.

What is the cost of membership?

Cost can be defined in terms of money and time. The biggest cost is your commitment of time, both by participating in the group meetings monthly and the individual 1-to-1 session. Giving up six hours per month is a considerable cost given your hourly rate.

The monetary cost is based on a quarterly fee. We will be happy to discuss this fee and the enrollment cost with you in person. Our costs are structured to encourage serious-minded participation from our members.

Why should I spend my time and money to belong?

If everything is going well in your company and you are completely happy with where you are as a business owner then CEO Partners is probably not for you. But as one of our members has said, "I don't get too excited when things are going well, or too depressed when they aren't because I know it will change for the worse or the better. It's making sure I don't screw things up along the way that's most important."

CEO Partners is most effective for those owners/presidents comfortable with the concept that "they don' know all the answers." In fact CEO Partners is really for those individuals who acknowledge that "they don't know all the questions."

If you need to be challenged, made to feel uncomfortable, and be held accountable for results, then CEO Partners could be worth your time and money.

How do I become a member?

Every business owner is not a good candidate for membership. The group dynamic and the cultural fit must be considered each time a new prospect is interested in becoming a member. For that reason prospective members undergo a two hour selection interview with Dave Clegg. The interview is intended to explore the prospect's level of interest, their commitment, their knowledge and their need. CEO Partners accepts individuals who are serious about seeking help and in giving it.
