Why are we here?
Because starting, buying, running, leading, growing and exiting a business are uniquely different but equally challenging roles.
Why do it alone?
Welcome to The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead.
This is one group that can relate and connect at the C-level. Every time I leave an event I wonder why I don’t attend more of them.” – Roger

our core values.
BE UPFRONT
At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, we believe in being real and unfiltered. Our members commit to honesty, transparency, and authenticity, expressing our true intentions with genuine clarity. By cutting through the noise, we prioritize directness and openness, knowing that being real fosters accountability and trust. Vulnerability is a strength, allowing us to build connections rooted in genuine integrity and authenticity.
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, we put people first, always. We believe that genuine connections are built on understanding each other’s stories and discovering the “why” behind our journeys. With mutual respect for the paths we’ve all taken and the milestones we’ve achieved, we foster relationships that are as much about shared values as they are about professional goals.
LEARN BY TEACHING
There are two types of best practices: those we gain from others and those we learn the hard way. At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, members actively share their insights, drawing from the wealth of knowledge and diverse experiences within our circle. We believe that teaching is a vital part of leadership. If we’re not teaching, we’re not truly leading. Through this exchange, we grow together, learning as much by teaching as by doing.
CREATE BIG MOMENTS
Members of The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead recognize the power of being a catalyst for pivotal, empowering moments. We understand that the most defining opportunities often come from everyday interactions, not grand gestures. Our best leaders know how to show up in small, seemingly mundane moments, using them as opportunities for mentorship and connection. By focusing more on our world rather than the world at large, we create meaningful, lasting impact.
STAY CURIOUS
Curiosity fuels innovation. At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, we believe that staying curious keeps us open to new possibilities and continuous growth. By encouraging curiosity in ourselves and nurturing it in our teams, we inspire creative thinking that leads to meaningful breakthroughs and lasting business success. A sense of wonder drives leaders to ask the right questions and discover solutions where others only see obstacles.
LIVE INTENTIONALLY
Purpose. Fulfillment. Impact. At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, we believe that living with intention is the cornerstone of meaningful leadership. Our members don’t just seek success—they seek significance, charting a path that positively impacts lives and transforms communities. While we love what we do, we recognize that our work is only part of a greater purpose. Through unwavering commitment to our core values, we live with conviction and discipline, knowing that intentionality is what turns vision into legacy. This is the driving force behind everything we do.

WELCOME.
The first thing we encourage you to notice about The Executives’ Club of Fargo-Moorhead is one of our key differentiators…our Membership list. You will see that our list is not a list of companies, like many business groups, but rather a list of the individuals who own, operate and have, in many cases, founded their companies. Our Members are the Presidents, CEOs, Owners, Founders, executives and entrepreneurs…the key decision-makers. This ensures a different type of conversation.
