Chief Executive Forum's™ Network - A Very Personal Experience

     Despite its spectacular growth, Chief Executive Forum™ remains a very personal experience. Even the presidents of the world's corporate giants rely on their Chief Executive Forum's™ resources - members and speakers who constitute a personal and professional Board of Directors that money cannot buy.
     Within each of Chief Executive Forum's™ groups (no more than 14 per group) Presidents' meet and share with each other in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality and openness. Members share their knowledge, experience and expertise to address today's personal and professional challenges.

Where Trust Is Implicit

     Whether CEFers interact in a Forum, a chapter, with each other over a cup of coffee, 1-1 with their Forum leader, or via the Internet, trust among Forum members is implicit. And when one Forum member contacts another, a response is the highest priority - an invaluable way to personally reach out to obtain peer guidance or to assist another member in need.

Chief Executive Forum™ and our affiliated groups Open Doors

     Chief Executive Forum™ sets new standards for lifelong learning, collaboration and innovation with thousands of distinct education opportunities offered each year. Chief Executive Forum™ continuously develops important new learning experiences as diverse as its members.
     A Seattle, Washington, member made a contact through her Forum leader with the member of another Chief Executive Forum™ in Oregon, flew down to meet and saved over $25,000 in consulting fees that she was ready to pay. Many stories of members helping each other can be read in our Testimonial section.

Special Alliances
     
Chief Executive Forum™ Seminars, expose in-depth programs focusing on a specific topic, specialize in mergers, acquisitions, initial public offerings, international trade agreements and technology developments crucial to staying competitive. Chief Executive Forum™ membership opens the world to presidents, their employees and their families through education and idea exchange sessions each month.

Expanding Learning Opportunities Beyond The Office

     To meet members' personal challenges, Chief Executive Forum™ education also explores strategies for dealing with life transitions, raising responsible children and balancing the tremendous demands on presidents' time

Dialogue With Current and Past Corporate Leaders

     The Chief Executive Forum™ initiates sessions between its presidents and past corporate leaders. We have had the founder of Eddie Bauer (whose father purchased the firm for $1 and the story of its rapid growth and sale), Mentor Graphics and Olympic Venture Partners, Meier and Frank, Shaw Venture Partners (founding of Costco), Farrell's Ice Cream (built and sold to Marriott) and many more share the successes and failures they learned while expanding and selling and buying their firms. All of our speakers have been and are video and audio taped and copied for all members to have for reference.

The Power of Learning; The Value of Connecting

     At the doorstep of the 21st century, Chief Executive Forum™ faces a world of opportunity, poised to seize all the millennium will offer. Chief Executive Forum™ is delivering unique learning and life-changing experiences of deep value for corporate leaders. Chief Executive Forum™ and its founder Rene Fritz, Jr. have earned their leadership position as a result of nearly three decades of innovation and hard. For information on Mr. Fritz see our History section.

     For the corporate executives of Chief Executive Forum™, their years in Forum are still a journey in which they truly begin to realize the tremendous power of learning, the vast wilderness of knowledge yet to be discovered and the real value of connecting a great group of non-competing presidents and chief decision.
