December 23-31 –  NO CLUB EVENTS

The Executives’ Club 2025 schedule is structured around four key pillars and will offer exclusive events designed to drive both individual and organizational success. Each quarter is designed to deliver actionable insights and forge valuable connections.

Join us, and be part of a powerful network of leaders navigating the future of Fargo-Moorhead business together, no matter where you are in your business path: whether you’re just opening doors, or whether you’re looking to close them.

Q1: Mentorship

Mentorship is part of your legacy — staying connected to other high-level thinkers is essential for staying ahead. Share your expertise, build your legacy, and gain fresh perspectives from other industry leaders who’ve faced different challenges and learn through cross-industry insights.

4 key pillars, each guiding 1 quarter of the year.

  • Q1: Mentorship
  • Q2: Investorship
    • We’ll explore cutting-edge investment strategies in a rapidly evolving marketplace, allowing investors of all levels to diversify and grow their portfolio with confidence, whether investing money, time or knowledge and expertise. Your investment in each determines your future.
  • Q3: Leadership
    • Will center on innovative and resilient leadership practices, encouraging members to enhance their abilities to lead in dynamic environments. Refine your leadership with the latest insights to stay at the forefront of change and innovation.
    • 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? The Executives’ Club is your platform to collaborate with like-minded leaders who’ve walked a similar path. We invite you to share in their wisdom and for them to learn from yours.
  • Q4: Entrepreneurship
    • Will emphasize the entrepreneurial mindset, sharing strategies for starting, scaling, and sustaining successful ventures. Tap deeper into your entrepreneurial mindset and hone your business strategies to not only start, scale, or sustain thriving organizations, but also to master the art of business acquisition and sale. Whether you’re exploring how to expand through acquisitions, seeking opportunities to buy established companies, or preparing your own business for a successful exit, you’ll gain insights into the full entrepreneurial spectrum from founders and owners who’ve been where you are. Learn the strategies that fuel growth, create long-term value, and position your business for maximum impact.

Although most events are private, each month will host 1 premiere event, open to both Members and non-members of the Club.

Even if you feel you’ve mastered mentorship, investorship, leadership, and/or entrepreneurship, we believe there is always something more to learn—and that each of us has something to teach. At The Executives’ Club Fargo-Moorhead, we believe that success isn’t merely a destination; it’s a continuous pursuit of growth and connection.

“SOLUTIONS” is a private weekly roundtable exclusively designed for Executives’ Club Members to tackle specific business challenges and uncover new strategies.

Set in a relaxed atmosphere, (over cocktails, if you choose, coffee, if you prefer), Club Members come together to share their experiences, offer insights, and gain from the collective wisdom of the group. It’s a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, build connections, and find practical solutions to your leadership and business hurdles. It doesn’t have to be lonely at the top.

WEEKLY, 4-6pm, at the Grindstone.
