Commonwealth Forums for CEOs

Commonwealth Forums for CEOs provide a confidential environment where women openly discuss with their peers the issues facing their businesses and develop strategies for growth.

Participants share ideas and are challenged by the group to make plans and take action. Growth results from responding to that challenge, being focused on a goal, and building self-confidence through the encouragement, support, and feedback of other forum participants.

  • Each Forum has ten entrepreneurs who come from a variety of industries with no competitors in each group.
  • Groups meet monthly for four hours and are scheduled one year in advance in order to incorporate the meetings into the participant's schedule.
  • A professional facilitator with extensive business experience runs each Forum.
  • Meetings often will feature an expert resource with extensive knowledge in a particular business discipline.
  • Eligibility Requirements - a company should be in business for at least one year, with at least $250,000 in annual gross revenues and three or more employees.
