Purpose of the Roundtables

The Roundtables offer a supportive and confidential space for executives from both for-profit and non-profit organizations to share best practices and address business challenges in a self-led, monthly meeting. Roundtables are designed for meaningful discussion rather than casual conversation or sales pitches. By surrounding yourself with peers from diverse backgrounds and industries, you gain access to a wide range of perspectives and innovative ideas that can drive your business forward.

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 six different roundtable programs available to fit your needs:

CEO

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.

We are exploring a "micro" roundtable concept for businesses with less than five employees, but this concept has not yet been scaled.

CFO

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.

CIO

To be eligible for a CIO Roundtable, an applicant must be a current MMAC member and a senior-level executive within their company (CIO, Vice President or Director of IT). Each CIO Roundtable group consists of 8–10 members in non-competing industries. A typical meeting could include discussion on topics such as cyber security, artificial intelligence, and cloud transitions.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE

To be eligible for a Senior Executive Roundtable Program, an applicant must be a current MMAC member, an employer of at least 25 individuals and a senior-level executive with corporate decision-making responsibilities reporting directly to the CEO (i.e., Executive Vice President, Vice President of Operations, COO).
