While our existing groups are nearly full, we are recruiting for a select few profiles, and also plan to launch our next peer group in late summer 2013. 
 
As with all of our CEO Peer Groups, we seek CEOs who:  
  • Offer "ego-less" confidence
  • Are students of business
  • Seek continuous improvement
  • Have strong business acumen
  • Are personally likable
  • Other experienced CEOs would value having at their table
Do you have a CEO in mind who fits the bill? 

PUBLISHING SOON: RCC'S PARTNER DIRECTORY

As many of you know, our first-ever partner directory will be published soon to benefit our CEO network. To be featured in our partner directory, service providers must:
  • Be endorsed by at least one of our current CEO Peer Group members
  • Play an active role in keeping the peer groups strong and valuable for our CEOs by referring at least 2 CEO candidates annually
CEOs, if you have yet to nominate your trusted business advisors, we'd love to hear from you.
