2019 Board of Boards

February 25, 2019

CECP’s Board of Boards, a Forbes-named top three “power player” event for CEOs, is a three hour, closed-door networking discussion. A benefit of being a CECP CEO, the event provided the opportunity for peers to discuss the business imperative for infusing stakeholder needs into core business strategy.
