CEO Roundtable Agenda
The CEO Roundtable provides an annual educational forum for CEOs of large marketing and farm supply cooperatives who have a strong desire to improve the performance of the businesses they lead. This forum is a place (1) where critical issues are identified and the most effective strategies are presented, (2) where CEOs can discuss common interests, challenges and opportunities, (3) where CEOs can learn from each other by sharing success stories and experiences and (4) where CEOs can learn from other respected experts with proven track records. This forum is a place that maximizes learning through an intense, stimulating program agenda.
Attendance is by invitation only. The CEOs invited are those who knowledgeable observers believe have demonstrated an ability to lead large, complex businesses in a challenging environment. These CEOs have taken innovative and proactive management approaches and are willing and able to learn from and contribute to the learning of others. A CEO may also invite the Chief Board Officer (chair/president). To enhance the learning environment, attendance is limited to no more than 40 participants with CEOs and up to 10 CBOs. Registrations will be accepted on a first received basis.
