Learn More about CEO Roundtables

Do I have to be a member of GFW Inc. to participate in a CEO Roundtable?
Yes. GFW Inc. CEO Roundtables are open to active GFW Inc. member companies ONLY. If your company is not a member of GFW Inc. and you would like to visit a group, please submit a CEO Roundtable application here.

Who is eligible to participate in the program?
CEOs (including C-Suite), senior executives and executive directors, presidents, and owners of small and mid-size companies regardless of title, may join a CEO Roundtable. Individuals with for profit and nonprofit entities may participate.

Do I have to submit a CEO Roundtable application to visit a group?
Yes. This saves you a step once you are ready to join any group!

How many times can I visit a CEO Roundtable?
Individuals are permitted to visit a maximum of ONCE to any roundtable with an opening for their specialty/category in the calendar year (January to December) before a vote is required for official membership in that group.

How much does it cost?
Fees for this program are $50 annually.

Is there an attendance requirement?
Yes, this is up to the discretion of the roundtable chair; however, it is expected that all participants maintain at least 70-75% attendance in order to maintain their status in the group. Members who are not able to make the attendance requirement are asked to consider this program another year.

How do I know when a group meets or if there us availability for my industry?
Only one participant per industry is permitted in each roundtable to prevent business competition. (e.g., you can have two realtors, one commercial and one residential; just not two of the same.) Rosters for each roundtable are available here and are updated monthly.

Can I be in more than one CEO Roundtable?
Yes, an individual may be in a maximum of TWO (2) groups, but a company can have one individual in all active CEO Roundtable. Each individual must apply separately and pay their separate fees for each group.

What if there is not space in an of the groups for me to join? Can I start my own group?
Individuals who would like to start their own CEO Roundtable must email a letter of intent to the Events Manager, Olivia Dickerson.
