Why members join
A structured environment for high-level strategic conversation.
The forum offers a more focused setting than a general networking event. Members join because they value serious, candid conversations with peers who understand the demands of leading an organization. Whether the challenge involves growth planning, leadership alignment, succession thinking, capital allocation, market pressure, or operational transformation, the forum provides a confidential setting in which experienced leaders can test ideas, share perspective, and challenge assumptions.
Equally important, the program creates continuity. Monthly meetings create momentum. Seminars bring depth. The annual retreat allows for broader reflection and deeper connection. Together, these elements support both intellectual rigor and durable professional trust.
CEOs
Executive perspective
Exchange thinking with fellow leaders who carry enterprise-level decision responsibility.
Founders
Growth and innovation
Discuss product direction, team-building, culture, and the realities of scaling an organization.
Owners
Long-term stewardship
Explore ownership priorities, enterprise resilience, and the discipline required to sustain value.
Monthly meetings
Each monthly gathering is designed to create practical value. Members can examine a current leadership issue, work through business priorities, and hear grounded perspectives from peers who are also operating at a high level. The goal is not generic inspiration; it is useful executive dialogue.
Targeted seminars
Seminars extend the forum beyond peer exchange. They allow the program to focus on a topic in depth, creating room for thought-provoking discussion around management practice, strategic adaptation, organizational culture, or board-level decision-making.
Annual retreat
The retreat format creates protected time for deeper strategic conversation. Away from the pace of everyday operations, members can revisit broader priorities, build stronger relationships, and engage in sustained dialogue with fellow leaders.
Program focus
Leadership topics that matter when the stakes are real.
The forum is intended for leaders managing real complexity. Conversation may touch strategic growth, operating discipline, talent development, board communication, enterprise risk, succession planning, capital strategy, and execution under uncertainty. The format is intentionally practical and intellectually serious.
Membership transparency: eligibility is intended for UCLA Anderson alumni who currently serve as a CEO, founder, or owner. Final participation decisions should be made by the program administration.
Because the forum is designed around shared experience, the quality of the member mix is essential. Clear program communication, accurate contact information, and direct access to the registration page help create a user experience aligned with Microsoft Ads quality expectations.
