Nearly 400 CEOs, CFOs, Senior Executives and Sales Managers in the Milwaukee Region count on the MMAC's Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) Executive Roundtable Program to fill the void that often comes with being a senior decision-maker at a small business.
Purpose of the Roundtables
The Executive Roundtable Program provides a structured and confidential environment for executives to share best practices and resolve their business challenges. Members can expect to make better decisions, improve communication skills and build valuable relationships.

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.
