CEO Roundtable Program
Learn From Your Peers and Expand Your Professional Network
CEO Roundtables are self-directed peer groups of local CEOs that meet on a monthly basis to discuss business strategies and tactics. Roundtables are cross industry, noncompetitive, and organized by business size, providing the CEOs with a wide range of confidential and professional opinions. Roundtables extend the CEOs’ network of advisors and provide for learning from their peers. For additional program details contact Bob Dumouchel at (800) 889-2922 email: bob@ypp.com.
CEO Roundtables are a community effort lead by a group of regional businesses that want to increase the success of the local business by assisting in the development of world-class CEOs. There are no membership fees for participating CEOs.
Program Requirements:
- Member must be the CEO, General Manager, or Final decision maker for an organization
- CEO must agree to confidentiality of the meetings
- CEO must attend on a regular basis
- CEO Roundtables are not a marketing event
CEO Roundtable assignments are intended to insure that the group represents their peers. Softec reviews all applications to ensure that groups do not contain competitors and do represent a wide mix of industries. Once a roundtable is established new members are subject to the approval of 100% of the active membership.

About the cross industry strategy
CEO Roundtables are designed with a cross industry strategy. CEO’s from Manufacturing, Retail, Distribution, and Services work together in order to provide a diverse range of perspectives. CEO’s often partner across industries and need to understand the other perspectives to effectively lead their organization.

Softec Perspective - Why this is a good community investment
Softec believes that this program will assist in the development of world-class CEOs and that is good for the local technology industry. This program is cross-industry but stronger CEOs create stronger companies and that is good for technology and others.
Softec and other sponsors serve as trusted third parties to the formation process of the CEO roundtable, not as facilitators. Leadership comes from the members of the group.
No Fee to Member CEOs
Softec sponsors this program as a community service and there are no charges to the CEO to be a member. Groups at their own direction may charge a mutually agreed upon fee to cover expenses or to pay for consultants or speakers for the group. CEO Roundtable groups may decide to use public facilities such as meeting rooms at hotels and the group will be responsible for its own operational expenses. Softec and other sponsors maintain an active roster of specialists in many fields who are available to present to the CEO roundtables, if requested by the members.
