Tri-Cities Chamber Executive Roundtable Series

Description

Bringing Senior Leaders Together to Navigate What’s Next

The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce is pleased to introduce a new Executive Roundtable Series, created specifically for CEOs, Executive Directors, business owners and senior leaders who want to engage in meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing organizations today.

Business leaders are navigating a rapidly changing environment, from economic uncertainty and workforce challenges to artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, talent and the increasing pressure to execute strategy effectively. Having an opportunity to sit down with other executives, share experiences and discuss practical solutions has never been more important. 

The Chamber’s Executive Roundtables will bring a select group of senior leaders into the same room for candid, peer-to-peer discussion, with each session featuring an expert speaker and a focused conversation on a current business issue.

Participation by Application
To ensure the roundtable remains focused, relevant and highly valuable for participants, attendance is limited and available through an application process.

Participation is exclusive to Tri-Cities Chamber members or through a member referral. Applicants will be selected with consideration given to leadership level, organizational fit and the overall mix of participants around the table.

September 29 | 5:00PM - 6:30PM | Chamber Boardroom

Aligning Your Team for Growth
Anthony Taylor | SME Strategy Consulting

Most leadership teams have a strategy. Far fewer have a team that is genuinely aligned on how to execute it. Anthony Taylor, Founder and Principal of SME Strategy Consulting, works with mid-market leadership teams across Canada and the United States to help organizations translate strategy into day-to-day alignment and execution.

This session will explore why strategic plans can stall between the boardroom and the front line—and what senior leaders can do to keep teams focused, accountable and moving in the same direction as they grow.

Best suited for: CEOs, Executive Directors and senior leaders of organizations that are scaling, restructuring or navigating leadership transitions.

October 21 | 8AM - 9:30AM | Chamber Boardroom
