 A candid, peer-to-peer discussion with CEOs and regional executives exploring how investing in community drives stronger organizations, economic growth, and more vibrant places to live, work, and visit.

 This is a series of private, invitation-only roundtables – limited to 25 leaders – designed for honest conversation, meaningful connections, and practical insights.

Corporate Leadership and the Strength of a Region Strong regions are built not only through economic growth, but through the strength of the institutions and organizations that support communities — from education and workforce development to housing stability and community health. Corporate leaders are frequently asked to support a wide range of worthwhile organizations and initiatives. At the same time, many executives are thinking more intentionally about how they decide where to focus their time, attention, and resources in ways that create meaningful and lasting impact for the regions where they operate. Hosted by Satell Institute member Bill Ward, CEO of Ward Transport & Logistics , this executive roundtable will bring together a small group of CEOs and senior executives for a candid conversation about how business leaders approach community investment and how they identify the nonprofit and civic organizations that align with their values and priorities. Together, participants will explore how these decisions contribute to the long-term strength of a region and what distinguishes strong partnerships from transactional requests. In the spirit of the Satell Institute, this will be an off-the-record, no-ask conversation among peers , focused on sharing perspectives and practical insights.

A candid, peer-to-peer discussion with CEOs and regional executives exploring how investing in community drives stronger organizations, economic growth, and more vibrant places to live, work, and visit.

 This is a series of private, invitation-only roundtables – limited to 25 leaders – designed for honest conversation, meaningful connections, and practical insights.

Nonprofit CEOs across the country are facing the same challenge – how to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent in an increasingly competitive workforce. This fast-paced, CEO-only working forum will bring together a select group of nonprofit leaders for a candid, solutions-focused conversation. The session will open with a flash presentation from the KPMG Human Capital Team – David Greed, Kelly Landis, and Chris Shuster – featuring a real-world case study on Total Rewards and how nonprofit organizations can rethink compensation, benefits, culture, and professional growth to compete for top talent. 

From there, the conversation shifts to peer-to-peer CEO breakout discussions, where leaders will share their insights and ask questions in a confidential setting.

We’ll close with rapid report-outs and open Q&A, ensuring every CEO leaves with practical ideas they can take back to their team immediately. 

This is not a webinar. It’s a working session designed for nonprofit CEOs who want honest dialogue, practical strategies, and the perspective of peers facing the same leadership challenges.  It is open to all Nonprofit Affiliate Leaders!

(A Zoom Link Will Be Sent Out 2-Days Before the Event)
