Why Join VACEOs?

VACEOS MEMBER BENEFITS:

PEER ROUNDTABLES

Our members-only monthly roundtable sessions are a perfect forum to test new ideas, solve problems and learn from others who have “been there.” This perspective gives members the ability to:

Move your business forward and in new directions
Get “unstuck”
Think differently about your business
Solve long-standing problems
Build close relationships with a small group of peers who have your back
Move out of the “lonely at the top” place you may be in
Gain clarity by being able to step away from your business to get new perspective

All members are part of a small group within the Council. Most members participate in a Roundtable, which meets monthly. We offer a different format for CEOs of larger, more complex businesses. These roundtables are called CEO Forums and meet once a quarter for a full day.

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

We provide a number of opportunities throughout the year to access advanced learning from top thought leaders. Most of these luncheons and workshops are CEO-only, which is an environment that provides a different level of conversation. We often hear from CEOs and entrepreneurs, learning from their successes — and their failures. See current and past events on our events page.

VIRGINIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP

Council members also receive membership in the Virginia Chamber, as a benefit of our partnership with the statewide business advocacy organization.

ANNUAL RETREAT

And our Annual Members-Only CEO Retreat provides the CEO with:

Intensive deep-dive learning not found elsewhere
Equal proportions of keynote speakers, mixed with peer-to-peer learning in breakout sessions on the topic with discussion guides
Ability to apply their learning immediately to their own situation by giving ideas to and for each other
Inspiration to take their business to the next level
