Purpose: Helping business owners grow

Vision: Bringing a group of business owners together to help facilitate discussions regarding challenges and situations which impede the growth of their company.

The Michigan International Chamber of Commerce CEO Network program brings together business owners who share a passion for growing their businesses. The CEO Network program includes entrepreneurs who have a willingness to share their experiences and challenges and learn from others in the group. The CEO Network group acts like a virtual advisory board for small and medium-sized companies; providing a private and confidential environment for discussions related to critical business issues, sharing experiences and brainstorming problem resolution. Groups will be facilitated and will consist of 12 to 15 business owners with no competing interests. Participants are from diverse industries so that participants benefit from learning from others who share completely different perspectives.

What Makes MIICC Business Development Roundtable Different from Other Groups?

Small or Medium-Sized Business Focus

Most other CEO Network are set up for CEO's of companies who have revenues in millions or have tens of employees.  The MIICC CEO Network is for small or medium-sized company owners or entrepreneurs who are aggressively growing their businesses and face challenges related to marketing, business development, hiring or retaining smaller groups of employees, and other challenges that are specific to their sector.

Affordable Value The MIICC CEO Network membership fees and time commitments are manageable. We know that you have a business to run and therefore we make sure that the meetings are affordable and easy to fit in to your busy schedule.

Continuous Learning In addition to the monthly CEO Network meetings, participants will have the opportunity to participate in educational and training workshops designed to build skill sets and facilitate continuous learning for the participating business owners.
