Frequently Asked Questions
About Vistage Florida
How does Vistage Florida work?
Vistage members set aside one day each month to meet with their peer advisory group and work on the big-picture vision for their business and address issues that may be holding them back. That means they make time to tackle strategic plans, as well as challenges and opportunities. During the meeting, they help each other vet ideas, troubleshoot strategies and find solutions together. Meetings are facilitated by an executive mentor (Vistage Chair) who uses a proprietary method for keeping the conversations focused and productive.
Who are Vistage Florida members?
Vistage members are CEOs, business owners and key executives of small and midsize companies with $1M-$1B in annual revenue, representing nearly every industry. This diversity is key to furnishing advisory groups of members from non-competing industries, and providing members with relevant expertise, regardless of their industry or company size.
What are member benefits?
Members participate in monthly, Chair-led private advisory board meetings, and have access to one-to-one executive coaching, expert speakers, online industry-and-interest-based networks and proprietary content where they can ask questions of the global community. As a result, members make better decisions, achieve an improved work-life balance, and grow their companies 2.2 times faster than the average small to midsize business.
