Northeast Wisconsin Peer Groups
CEO Group
This group is for individuals who are running their family-owned business. While the title is not important (President, CEO, Founder/Owner), he or she must be clearly in charge of making company decisions and managing operations. A non-family President/CEO is welcome to join.
Future Leader Group
This group is for the next generation of up-and-coming leaders in family businesses. Typically, the current generation (grandparent, parent, aunt/uncle, etc.) is still actively involved in running the business, and these individuals are preparing to step into a key leadership position in the future.
