Leadership Teams

EDGE serves the CEOs and leadership teams of Northeast Ohio member organizations by providing peer group meetings for CEOs & Presidents, Finance, Operations, HR, IT, Sales & Marketing leaders and Rising professionals. This exclusive network of mid-sized company leaders in Northeast Ohio are brought together to learn with and from each other through professional facilitated discussions. Exchanges are robust and are conducted in a safe, trusting and confidential environment to establish professional and personal relationships. Business leaders are challenged to leave with at least two takeaways that they can immediately apply to their business. You’ll be in the room with forward thinking, growth-focused executives who embrace learning and sharing their successes and challenges with their peers.

Peer Group meeting topics echo the specific needs of companies that are growing in every aspect (markets, offerings, employees, facilities) and focus on managing the changes (culture, strategy, tools etc.) that must accompany such growth. Responding to the ever-changing needs of EDGE member leaders peer groups are often brought together encouraging cross-functional alignment.

Professionally facilitated, quarterly, Hot Topic meetings have broad interest among most peer groups providing leaders with an opportunity to learn with and from leaders in their company and from other mid-size companies in Northeast Ohio facing similar challenges and opportunities. Peer invitees are encouraged to attend as many meetings as there is application and interest. Recent Hot Topic meetings addressed Strategy Execution & Staying on Track, Business Technology – A Competitive Advantage, as well as Mergers & Acquisitions.
