Great “Value-Add” for the MembersYou are the “Great Facilitator”
Like-type professionals want to be organized and interact regularly
Another means of professional development for the participants
Good Source of intelligence for us

We had HR Managers and CFO’s Peer to Peer 10 years ago that fizzled as participation declined. It was sponsor driven and funded.
Model was simple: Planning Committee from among participants, meet quarterly, sponsors attend, but “quiet” participants

We decided to jump into Peer to Peer again in 2009
TECNA was the primary inspiration Our annual CEO-only dinner was also a
factor

Tech Company CEOs > $3 Million Meet in nice digs Middle of the state All verticals invited 2.5 hours in the morning once a month 15 participants-settle on a maximum Professional facilitator- hire one or you Modest fee-$1,000, but thin through pricing
(lots of Competitors in CT)

Be sensitive to inviting competitors Run a tight meeting (Use a Big Clock!!) You can do it yourself-get trained You are not going to have the answers in most
cases You learn a lot about your members Vertical Disparity Issue
