CEO STAND-UP | a weekly open mic hour
If you’re interested in attending, please reach out to any Member of the Club and ask to be a guest for any upcoming Wednesday lunch.
Jim Buus, President, JBC Commercial Real Estate, and David Dietz, President, Preference Employment Solutions, share the value of our longest-running Signature Program, our Wednesday lunch
Every Wednesday,
around 20 Members of The Executives’ Club gather from 12:00 to 1:00pm, to share business strategies and insights, professional and personal struggles, and discover that it doesn’t have to be ‘lonely at the top’.
Since January 2016, we’ve hosted well over 300 Wednesday lunch conversations, making this our Club’s longest-running and most widely-attended Signature Program.
For 5 years, Porter Creek Hardwood Grill of Fargo graciously hosted our Members for this weekly lunch. This year, 2022, we’ve chosen to support locally-owned Spitfire Bar & Grill in West Fargo. Thank you to the staff of each of these great establishments for welcoming us, every Wednesday!
CEO STAND-UP is an opportunity for Execs’ Club Members to ‘step outside their comfort zone’ perhaps, and lead a C-level conversation or presentation on any topic of their choosing.
Discuss a book, an article; make a new business pitch or investment opportunity; or, delve deeper into the personal side of leadership.
The mic is yours. Select an upcoming Wednesday from the list below.
- Select a date at least 2-4 weeks in advance.
- Provide us with a title, brief description and key takeaways. We will build the event in our private Facebook group and invite all Members to attend.
- Let us know if you’ll be providing a handout and/or if you’ll need a monitor for video or slide presentation. The Fire Pit at Spitfire has 2 large monitors mounted for easy HDMI hookup.
- We encourage you to help peak interest in the event, by starting a pre-discussion in The Executives’ Club of Fargo-Moorhead | private Facebook group. All Members are permitted to post in our private group.
The subject matter and format are wide-open. You can present about your organization; discuss a business/leadership book or article; or lead any type of open-forum conversation. The room is yours for the hour. Thank you for your engagement!
