Business-owner organizations
Organizations for owners of privately held companies overlap with CEO peer groups but add an ownership test: EO requires founders or majority stakeholders, WPO requires an ownership interest and a woman at the helm, and franchised boards such as The Alternative Board admit owners of small and mid-sized firms without a published financial threshold. Because the audience owns the business, the conversation in these rooms tends toward succession, exit, cash and family rather than career, which is the practical reason to prefer them over executive networks. Chapter and franchise structures mean the quality of the local board matters more than the brand.
