The annual CEO retreat is scheduled for October at the Wequasset Resort. Approximately 30 seasoned and successful CEOs will gather to share lessons learned, experiences, and thoughts with respect to the future.
Recruiting
We are selectively looking for a 10th member candidate to fill Group 2 and 2 new candidates to prepare for planned 09 turn over in Group 1. Average revenue in these groups is approximately 80million. If you know of a seasoned CEO candidate who you think would qualify and be interested, please contact me.
Group 3 (the emerging group) is full, however, I have a significant waitlist of pre-interviewed CEOs interested in forming a new group to potentially start in 2009. |
