Upcoming Events
The core of the Alliance will always be our private, invitation-only CEO groups which meet regularly throughout Northern California. Because the collective experience within the entire Alliance community is truly extraordinary, the Alliance brings CEOs together in a variety of additional ways to enable our members to connect with other CEOs in meaningful ways. You can check out some of these additional Alliance activities below. If you would like to be invited, please contact Laurel Madal
