The leading peer advisory membership organization in the world, Vistage International, is available for the first time in our area, by invitation only, for chief executive officers (CEOs), key executives and business owners.

The new Vistage group will meet monthly to discuss business issues, share expertise and provide one another confidential advice to achieve their goals.

Judy Boyle Chun will facilitate the executive meetings. Chun is a former CEO and chief financial officer of numerous successful million-dollar U.S. companies. She is part of a community of more than 400 Vistage Chairs who lead local area groups, which total more than 18,000 members in 16 countries.

“Vistage International is the world's leading peer advisory membership. Also known as mastermind groups, these types of exclusive private executive boards help leaders tackle some of today’s biggest business challenges and opportunities, as well as ongoing issues,” said Chun. “This highly effective Vistage International business model has been developed and refined by high-performing business leaders over the past 57 years.”

The first invitation-only gathering for this area is set for Tuesday, December 2, 7-9:30 a.m. at the Pinnacle Club in downtown Augusta. At this forum, CEOs and other top-tier executives and business owners will have the opportunity to experience how a Vistage Peer Advisory Board will help them evaluate opportunities, gain new perspectives and discover a renewed sense of direction.

A 2013 analysis by Dun & Bradstreet (2007-2012) revealed that companies that joined Vistage over the past five years grew at twice the rate of average U.S. companies. According to the Dun & Bradstreet analysis, companies with executives that participated in Vistage International mastermind groups achieved 11.6 percent average compounded annual growth based on revenues, compared to 5.4 percent for total U.S. companies.

Every Vistage member is hand-picked for being proven business leaders and critical thinkers. Please contact Ms. Chun at 808-864-7692 or [email protected] if you are interested in attending the informational breakfast.
