The Value of Membership
Confidential peer learning that helps CEOs, executives, and business owners think clearly, decide faster, and make meaningful progress on what matters most.
Peer Group
Work through real challenges alongside accomplished CEOs, executives, and business owners from non-competing organizations. Each forum brings diverse perspectives, shared accountability, and practical insight grounded in lived leadership experience.
Events
Participate in high-impact in-person and virtual events featuring respected business leaders and WOW speakers. Members leave with timely perspectives, practical ideas, and connections they can act on immediately.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is foundational. Members speak openly, test ideas, and tackle sensitive issues in a trusted, judgment-free environment. Everything shared in-forum stays in-forum, allowing for deeper dialogue and real progress.
Network
Build meaningful relationships within a national community of accomplished leaders. Connections extend beyond meetings, creating ongoing support, collaboration, and access to trusted experience when decisions matter most.
FAQ
These questions reflect what prospective members often ask when considering confidential peer learning at MacKay.
Members are CEOs, executives, and business owners from non-competing organizations with similar scope, responsibility, and leadership complexity.
Meetings are shaped by the real issues members bring forward. Each member has time to work through business or leadership challenges with input from peers who have faced similar decisions.
Forum meetings are full-day sessions designed to allow for focused discussion, deeper thinking, and meaningful peer input without distraction.
Forums are carefully curated to include non-competing CEOs, executives, and business owners with comparable responsibility, scale, and leadership challenges.
MacKay Forums meet seven times annually, including six full-day meetings and one two-day annual retreat.
Members are expected to attend at least four of the seven annual meetings, including full-day forums and the annual retreat. Consistent participation is essential to trust, continuity, and meaningful peer accountability.
Membership is intentionally designed to be time-efficient. While meetings are full-day sessions, members consistently report significant time savings through clearer thinking, faster decisions, and fewer missteps between meetings.
Each meeting is shaped by member priorities. Participants bring forward real, timely challenges, and issues are selected collaboratively to ensure relevance, depth, and value for the group.
MacKay forums are professionally facilitated, judgment-free, and grounded in shared experience, not advice-giving. Combined with strong accountability and proven frameworks, this creates measurable return on time invested.
