New membership tier to include daylong, peer-networking event bringing together CEOs, search firm principals and thought leaders

Since the opening of enrollment in the new CEO Update MidCap Roundtable, more than 40 eligible members of the association community have joined this invitation-only membership tier.

The MidCap Roundtable was launched in December after the enrollment success of the Roundtable for CEOs of large associations. Membership to that Roundtable closed January 17 and is fully subscribed. As with the original Roundtable, CEO Update plans to cap membership at 75.

MidCap Roundtable membership—open to CEOs association with revenue between $5 million and $20 million—commands a slate of expanded benefits for the CEOs and their staffs, but a cornerstone is the one-of-a-kind peer networking and education-focused event, the Roundtable Summit.

The one-day Summit will bring together CEOs and principals of major search firms for a day of high-level education focused on arming senior leaders with the knowledge they need to lead their organizations, and to navigate a rapidly changing political and economic environment. The first MidCap Summit is set for June 1, 2017, at the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington at Mount Vernon.
