Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about CEO Membership, confidentiality, group composition, and what to expect from the MacKay peer learning experience.
Each group is professionally facilitated by an experienced MacKay Forum Chair who is a trusted advisor to CEOs and deeply trained in peer learning, group dynamics, and accountability.
Most CEO Forum Groups are intentionally cross-industry and non-competitive to maximize perspective and shared learning. Some role- or sector-focused forums exist where there is clear value, such as CHRO, CTO, or manufacturing-focused groups.
No. This is peer learning rooted in shared experience, facilitated dialogue, and accountability—not advice-giving or consulting.
Confidentiality is foundational to MacKay CEO Forums. Members sign a confidentiality agreement, and trust is actively reinforced by the Forum Chair. This commitment enables honest dialogue, meaningful challenge, and real progress.
No. Groups are carefully curated to ensure members are non-competitive and can share openly without conflict of interest.
At every meeting, members have dedicated time to bring real, current challenges to the group. Peers share relevant experience, ask clarifying questions, and help test thinking so members leave with clearer decisions and next steps.
CEO Forum Groups meet seven times per year, including six full-day meetings and a two-day retreat. Members must commit to attending 4 out of the 7 meetings/retreat to get full value. Beyond the structure, members develop Time Mastery by learning from peers who have already solved similar challenges, connecting with game changers, and making better decisions faster. Most CEOs experience this as a return on time, not a time commitment. Members can attend meetings virtually if unable to attend in person.
Membership is selective. Each application is reviewed to ensure alignment in role, experience, values, and readiness to contribute meaningfully to the peer group.
Yes. As your role or business evolves, we work with you to ensure continued best-fit alignment within the MacKay community.
CEOs who value honest feedback, shared accountability, and learning from real experience tend to gain the most value. Members who show up prepared and willing to engage deeply benefit the most over time.
