SouthCoast CEO Roundtable

The goal of the SouthCoast CEO Roundtable is to facilitate valuable, confidential, peer-to-peer advice and networking among local CEOs that will help them grow their businesses. This program was developed in partnership by the New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce, Mass Small Business Development Center Network and the Mass Manufacturing Extension Partnership. 

SouthCoast CEO Roundtable is modeled on similar CEO peer-to-peer groups operating successfully throughout the country, but customized for medium sized businesses in our region. The group is limited to 12 CEOs, presidents or primary decision makers from non-competing companies. Members of the roundtable meet monthly to seek and provide business advice, and help each other improve the quality of their business decisions. The meetings are controlled by participants. Participating CEOs decide on the agenda for the meetings, structure, the location and time of the monthly meetings and even who should be allowed into group. No competitors are permitted within the group. Professional facilitators help keep the meetings on track, assist in guiding the discussions and finding outside speakers when the group wants to bring in outside experts for advice on an issue. The CEO Roundtable program is not intended to provide sales leads.
