Roundtable Group Profile
Each Roundtable consists of 8–12 peers with similar company sizes in non-competing businesses. Meetings are held monthly, usually over breakfast, at a member's business, private club or restaurant. Each Roundtable is self-led, prioritizes issues to be discussed and develops its own agenda. A typical meeting could include discussion on managing growth, finding and retaining top talent, enhancing compensation programs, health care costs or retirement plans.

There are five different roundtable programs available to fit your needs:

ceos

More than 300 participants in the CEO Roundtable Program meet monthly in small groups throughout the metro Milwaukee area. To be eligible, an applicant must be a current MMAC member, an employer of at least five individuals, and the top-level executive of a company, regardless of title.

CFOs

To be eligible for a CFO Roundtable, an applicant must be a current MMAC member, an employer of at least 25 individuals and the top financial officer of a company (CFO, Controller, VP of Finance).

Each CFO Roundtable group consists of 8–12 members in non-competing businesses. A typical meeting could include discussion on issues such as supply-chain management, outsourcing models, succession planning, health care costs, retirement plans and IT security.
