Growth Strategies CEO Forum

S5 logo bg

Brainstorm and share ideas in association growth and positioning strategies with your peers.  

Formed in 2013, this forum is for the CEO’s of mid to large-sized, national and international trade associations and professional societies based in the DC Metro area.

Participation

This forum is by-invitation-only and members make an annual commitment to each other to actively participate.  No vendors other than the facilitators from Vertical Leap Consulting and Potomac Core Consulting.  There is a one-year membership term and members take turns hosting the meetings and providing a simple continental breakfast for the group 

Timing & Location

This forum generally meets 3 times during the year for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours per meeting; beginning early morning.  These meetings are scheduled at the start of each year, attempting to avoid members’ annual meetings, etc. 

Format

Peer dialogue format.  Based upon member feedback, the facilitators  select 2 topics in advance of each meeting to have drill-down dialogue; each being a key component to association growth, market positioning and member engagement strategies.  We also try to reserve some time for “got to have it for tomorrow” advice from the group.
