Frequently asked questions

Joe Mancuso resigned as the Chairman of the Management Department of a small engineering School in Massachusetts, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (W.P.I) to start the not-for-profit associations in 1977. He had previously organized the entrepreneurial alumni of the school and decided he wanted to make this his life long work but for a larger audience. In the early 1980\'s, Joe and his family moved to the SoHo section of Manhattan. Today the CEO Clubs is the oldest and largest not-for-profit association for CEOs and entrepreneurs. It has been in downtown Manhattan for over three decades.

When Joe Mancuso founded the association, he wanted it to be member based and supported. CEO Clubs Int’l is charted as schools under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. This means that gifts they receive are tax deductible to the donor. As a not-for-profit association, we do not seek to maximize profits but to return any excess to the member as increased benefits.

The Chief Executive Officers’ Clubs Greece creates a Nurturing Environment for CEOs Dedicated to Improving the Quality and Profitability of Their Enterprises Through Shared Experience and Personal Growth.

No, but members like to say, "It\'s OK to have fun if you are making money." Or, "It\'s okay to be independent but there\'s no reason to be alone."

Yes. You can attend once a CEO Clubs meeting if you are not a member. However, there could be a guest fee, which must be prepaid, as we do not accept registration payments at the door.

The Presidential Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of about 12-14 CEO members who serve as a board of advisors for one another - a "mastermind" group. Sounding out issues or decisions with a knowledgeable, yet not directly involved, peer group can significantly improve the odds of success.

Globally, about 300 CEO Club members participate in regional PACs.

PAC members must be members of CEO Clubs, must sign mutual confidentiality agreements, agree to share detailed financial information and agree to not miss more than two consecutive meetings. They also must be in control of their company and need to have a minimum of 25 employees with at least $2 million in annual sales.

Under the guidance of a paid facilitator, who is always also a CEO, the group focuses on the host company\'s biggest problem or opportunities. The council then offers solutions and advice. A mastermind occurs at the end of each session as each member shares their ideas to aid the host. This is audio-taped for the host to utilize as a reference.

The session\'s host always sends an agenda and literature 30 days prior to the meeting they\'re hosting. The PAC then devotes its energy to the topics on the host\'s agenda for the conclusion of the meeting. These sessions often continue through dinner well into the evening.

Super PAC is for larger companies and operates on an international basis. Minimum company size is $50 million in annual sales. Super PACs meet for three-day weekends three times a year. Super PAC is coordinated by the CEO of CEO Clubs, Dr Joe Mancuso. A PAC meets eight times annually, at each member\'s business.

The answer to that question is it depends. Because PAC meetings are confidential, guests must also sign a confidentiality agreement. You must be approved to attend by the host (to be sure there is no conflict) and by the facilitator. There is no cost to attend the initial meeting as a guest. Dress is casual and lunch is served. If you are attending as a guest, you must send all the PAC members some information about you and your business before you attend. In that manner, everyone will be better acquainted with you when you meet. To join a PAC, you must be acceptable to existing members.

The Club will provide unique value to Greek business owners and corporate CEOs who want to expand their knowledge and network beyond the boundaries of Greece.

• Existing CEO associations have limited international exposure and focus on business development.

   

• Greece is Financial & Business Hub for Balkan countries and Cyprus.

   

• Local enterprises have a growing interest to expand their international business and knowledge.

   

• CEO Clubs enables CEOs to enter or expand their business around the globe through the most effective networking and business development forums, events, gatherings, hospitality functions and the most dynamic and interactive online community in the World.

Major changes on the website usually take place on a monthly basis.

We do not rent or sell the list of the CEO Clubs members.
