The National Center for the Middle Market is excited to partner with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce to present the CEO Forum; a peer-to-peer network of middle market companies with the first POD starting in Central Ohio.
The CEO Forum provides Ohio business leaders with a network of peers share advice, while also providing tools that help to scale a business.
This membership program consists of an engaging asynchronous educational course delivered through The Ohio State University Max M. Fisher College of Business by top faculty and industry leaders. This content is supported by research from the National Center for Middle Market.
