"The CEO Leadership Forum is a truly incredible group of people. Geoff and the entire organization have done a brilliant job of aligning community leaders committed to bettering their respective companies. It was both an honor and privilege to speak to the group and share my story. Likewise, it was incredible to hear the inspirational stories of other great leaders. The Forums is continuously making me a better business owner and leader, and for that I am beyond grateful."

“As a guest speaker I was inspired to support CEO Leadership Forums, specifically as a result of observing the audience of local business leaders combined with Valencia Business and Technology students.

Bob Levy - President
“As the retired CEO of many different businesses, I had made my share of mistakes. If I had been a member of a CEO Leadership Forums, I would have had the opportunity to discuss my management problems with other executives to discover better ways to solve not uncommon situations. In almost every forum, there are lessons to be learned about things that should or should not be done.”

Bill Yeargin - CEO
“CEO Leadership Forums is a great opportunity to step away from your business for a short time and learn how to be a better leader. The networking opportunities combined with the Valencia connections will make CEO’s and their companies better!”
CEO Nexus

Ray Watson - CEO
“I had the opportunity to make several presentation to the CEOs and students who attended our events. I think the biggest takeaways was the reaffirmation of issues that CEOs should address, but because of time and priorities, rarely do. Those topics included: Ownership Thinking, Strategic Planning, and Development of KPIs to name a few. The CEOs, during our sessions, have an opportunity to think about factors affecting their companies and be "on" their businesses for 4 hours. The students are exposed to other CEOs and the content presented that will better prepare them when they join the workforce.“

Tim Fischer - CEO
“CEO Leadership Forums has been an invaluable resource to help connect fellow local CEOs together to discuss their challenges and opportunities. I have been extremely pleased with the value it has brought to myself and my organization.”
