In uncertain times, it’s important to have a peer group of CEOs with whom we can connect--CEOs who are facing similar challenges. CECP has provided that network to CEOs for more than 20 years and it has been a lifeline this year.

Once we joined CECP, we started to use the custom benchmarking of Giving in Numbers data and it was a key support to advance the strategy we were building for growth. We used the benchmarking as a foundational element of our strategy and to gain buy-in from our leadership allowing us to grow our programs and make a bigger impact.

CECP is an excellent forum for sharing insights with top business leaders who are committed to tackling society’s challenging problems. The opportunity to focus on the role our companies play in community well-being with like-minded individuals is highly rewarding and productive.
KEN FRAZIER
What I like about CECP is that they start with purpose, helping a company focus on that as central to the strategy. Then they help unlock ESG as a means by which a company realizes it strategic imperatives.
