I am proud to have been selected to convene and chair a Chief Executive Group in Orange County. Vistage International is the world’s largest CEO membership organization and enables companies to solve business problems, achieve better results and outperform the competition. Since 1957, Vistage members have benefited from a comprehensive suite of services that includes peer-group sessions, one-to-one executive coaching, experts on the full range of business subjects, a proprietary best practices library, and the collective experience of more than 13,000 business leaders in sixteen countries. Vistage member companies grow, on average, at a rate of 2.5 times faster than they did prior to joining.

The VISTAGE Model The core element of our model is the Vistage group. Vistage members meet for a full day each month with up to 15 other CEOs from non-competing industries. In confidential sessions, members tackle urgent business issues, share expertise and new ideas, and give each other the kind of direct, honest feedback they rarely receive within their own companies. They also get expert insights from guest speakers, selected from a database of hundreds of the world's leading business thinkers. The professionally trained Vistage Chair facilitates each session and meets privately every month with each member to focus on individual issues and opportunities. Almost half of the Chairs are former chief executives, and one-third hold advanced business degrees. Members also have access to the global Vistage community of more than 12,000 members, speakers, Chairs and other business professionals who share their expertise, best practices and hard-earned experience both face-to-face and via VII's password-protected Web site.

Vistage works: Vistage member companies grow on average 2.5 times faster than they did prior to joining Vistage.
