"The COO Forum provides an invaluable opportunity to meet with fellow COOs from a cross-section of companies to discuss best practices, real-life scenarios, new technologies, peer-to-peer trouble shooting, and have facilitated discussions about a range of topics impacting business today. I walk out of every meeting with some nugget I apply to my business that day- whether a new process, or tool, or contact. It is a great resource!"

"As a COO, I find that my touch in the organization has vast breadth. Finding peers with similar challenges internally has proven near impossible. The COO Forum provides that network of professionals that not only relate to the scope of my position, but they also live it every day. I am refreshed and determined to grow with each and every interaction with the COO Forum."

"I am so thrilled that I came across the COO Forum and joined. The leadership team are amazing--very engaged and always looking to bring more content and value to members--and between the monthly chapter meetings (which you can attend as many as you want), the monthly global executive sessions, and having a forum to ask questions of other COOs, this has been invaluable. And the members are amazing too, all in it for the right reasons and looking to help all of us grow and learn together. I highly recommend that all COOs join. "

"I have been a member of the COO Forum for the past 3 years and it has been instrumental in my growth as a professional.  The impact has been felt throughout our organization.  Having a strong network of fellow Chief Operating Officers who share their unique experiences and insight is invaluable to our ever-changing responsibilities.  In addition to being able to tap into the experience of others, having guest speakers and relevant topics to new challenges we face is worth the investment."
