CEO Network

 

The Arizona Technology Council is committed to equipping technology company CEOs with the resources, network and support they need to lead with purpose and confidence. We understand that your leadership has a profound impact on your business’s key results and outcomes, so we have worked hard to offer a forum where you can prioritize your personal and professional growth in a safe space that encourages you, challenges you and is invested in your success and well-being.

Meeting once a month in person for a half day, the Council’s CEO Networks in Phoenix and Tucson are designed to help CEO Networking grow their leadership, recognize their big wins, share their most frustrating obstacles and problem solve with other CEOs who experiencing similar highs and lows on their leadership journeys.

Phoenix

The Council has launched its Phoenix-based CEO Network for 2024! For just $1,500 annually, CEOs convene once a month for a half day in central Phoenix to follow the Vistage model of executive coaching and peer advisory. This opportunity is available on an application basis for any CEOs or executive network group who lead technology companies. We are not accepting service-provider CEOs at this time.

Not a CEO but interested in this networking opportunity? If we receive enough interest, the Council is open to creating additional peer-to-peer networks for other company leadership positions (think CIO, CISO, CMO, start-ups, etc).

We are committed to equipping industry member technology company leaders with the resources, network and support they need to lead with purpose and confidence. Join us!

These executives share valuable experience, insights, and advice with other members of the group.

Important Notice

 

Although important relationships are often forged within the executive network groups, the CEO Networking is not “a lead” or networking group, nor is it intended for members whose companies are in a turnaround situation.
