Event
SMPS SFBAC Business Leaders Forum East and South Bay
Background
SMPS San Francisco Bay Area Chapter is kicking off the third year of its successful Business Leaders Form. This members-only program is designed for those in senior business development and marketing roles who are looking for a peer-based learning through exchanging ideas and experiences.
Members share success (and not so successful) stories about how they support their firms' leadership and guide management teams through difficult and challenging business decisions. Members learn from colleagues who have charted their paths to leadership positions within their firms, have built and fostered business development cultures that work vertically throughout their organizations, and who manage staff and structure their internal departments to align with greater business goals of their firms.
We currently have two groups formed covering San Francisco/North Bay and East/South Bays. Each group will be formed with 10-20 individuals for bi-monthly round-table discussions centered on business strategies, resource management, and professional development. The series provides a venue for open communication and sharing of lessons-learned and best practices among colleagues in the A/E/C professions.
