Peer Advisory Board – Vistage Groups
Vistage groups provide a setting for successful leaders from diverse, non-competing industries to gather once a month in a confidential, problem-solving meeting with up to 16 business owners, company presidents and senior executives. The meeting is professionally facilitated by the Vistage Chair.
Vistage is a by invitation only membership organization. Each group is formed with the understanding that a strict confidentiality agreement is to be observed. By design, the Vistage Chair will select members from non-competing companies across industries to provide the widest possible experience and varying points of view.

Vistage Trusted Advisor (TA) Group
Membership

Group Meeting
This meeting is a half-day peer group meeting, and is focused on career and business opportunities and challenges.
Worldwide Network
Vistage is not a networking group. However, in the case of TA members, it is highly likely that you will in fact become a referral network for each other. These colleagues will in fact become a known quantity, which will allow you to refer them to your clients when their services might be needed. In addition, the TA member will be able to have access to a global network of expert speakers, many of whom are also high level consultants. This all combines to make you a “one-stop-shop” for your clients adding value to your relationships.
Expert Speaker Workshop
Recognized experts in critical business topics deliver fresh perspectives and practical insights, and inspire breakthrough ideas — all in the small-group environment of the monthly meetings. Each speaker meeting (usually 8 per year out of 12 meetings, except for the SB group which usually has 4 per year) is tailored to the group membership to provide the best possible experience for the group.
All City Events and International Conferences
These gatherings offer members the opportunity for peer-to-peer networking beyond their own groups. Expert speakers and interactive workshops create extraordinary learning experiences.
Web-based Best Practices Library
The Vistage online library (Vistage Village) puts a comprehensive collection of practical tips, advice and best practices at every member’s fingertips with the click of a mouse. In addition, this social website format allows for collaboration with other Vistage members and Chairs world wide.
Worldwide Network
Vistage is not a networking group. In practice, “doing significant business” with members of your own group would destroy the objectivity of our advisory board. It would be very difficult to advise your “supplier” that she or he needs to raise their prices! On the other hand, we can gain significant advantage from access to the ever-expanding global network of more than 20,000 members in 16 countries.
