When a crisis strikes, people look to their leaders. What happens next matters.

At yesterday’s Speaker Series, Rob Weinhold brought nearly four decades of experience to the topic of Crisis Leadership, taking members beyond communications and into the decisions leaders face under pressure.

A special thank-you to our member Terri Balliet with Children’s Network of Hillsborough for sponsoring the afternoon and supporting opportunities for our community to learn together.

Our community grows stronger with every new perspective. Today, we’re welcoming Jennifer Garbowicz, West Florida Market President at BNY Wealth.

Jennifer’s background spans wealth management, investment strategy, and board leadership. Her experience helping clients navigate important decisions adds a valuable voice to the table.

Glad to have you with us, Jennifer!

There’s nothing quite like bringing our CEO Council community together outside the boardroom. 🍂

Our Fall Social was an evening of good conversation, new connections, and plenty of time to simply enjoy each other’s company & nurture our relationships.

A special thank you to Carl & Lyda Lindell for opening their beautiful home to us and welcoming our members into a space filled with the most spectacular art. We’re also grateful to our Fall Social Sponsor, Randy Ware with West CMR, for sponsoring the evening and providing the delicious w**e.

Here’s to the relationships that make this community so special. 🤝

Leadership comes with big decisions, constant challenges, and plenty of moments where there's no obvious answer.

That's why having a trusted community matters.

At CEO Council, our members don't just gather for events—they build relationships, exchange perspectives, and learn from leaders who understand what it's like to sit in the CEO's chair.

Because sometimes the most valuable takeaway isn't the presentation—it's the conversation that follows.

What's one leadership lesson you've learned from another business leader?

A great evening of conversation, connection, and community.

Our members recently gathered at Forbici St. Pete for a CEO Council Happy Hour, enjoying an evening of meaningful conversations and time together outside the boardroom.

Thank you to Forbici St. Pete for hosting us and to Directed Capital for sponsoring the evening. We’re grateful for the continued support of the partners who help bring our community together.

What makes CEO Council so valuable?

According to Robert, it's the roundtables.

A place where business leaders can have candid conversations, tackle real challenges, share what's working, and learn from the experiences of others in the room.

When you're surrounded by leaders who are invested in each other's success, everyone benefits.

Meet one of the newest faces of CEO Council!

We're excited to welcome Gregory Sausaman, Starbucks Master Licensee, to our community of business leaders.

Gregory's background in entrepreneurship, consumer brands, and strategic growth brings a unique perspective to the Council, and we look forward to the conversations ahead.

Welcome, Gregory!

For 25 years, CEO Council has been more than a network. It's been a community.

A place where business leaders come together to share ideas, challenge one another, celebrate wins, and navigate challenges side by side.

While the business landscape has evolved over the past two and a half decades, one thing has remained constant: the value of meaningful relationships.

Thank you to every member, partner, and leader who has been part of the journey. The best is still ahead.

Relationships. Ideas. Solutions.

What happens when you challenge the way an entire industry thinks?

Our members had the opportunity to hear directly from Mike Cessario, Founder & CEO of Liquid Death, at this past week's Speaker Series.

Thank you, Mike, for an engaging conversation and for sharing your perspective on entrepreneurship, building a standout brand, and thinking differently.

And thank you to our CEO Council community for another afternoon of great conversation and connection. Thank you to our breakfast sponsor Roger West Creative.
