Why leaders join

Three reasons the right people are in this network, and why their companies back them.

01

Counsel

Candid advice from 200+ executive peers, before the hard decisions. Your company gets a leader who makes sharper calls.

02

Strategy

Forums with senior executives on enterprise leadership. Your company gets a leader who brings back what’s working now.

03

Access

Responsive connections across markets. Your company gains a leader with access to new customers, partners, and talent.

Black Executive Men members at an in-person forum

A clear commitment.
Real connection.

Each year you commit to a defined set of meetings with other executives, and BEM designs every one to move your business forward.

Executive Cadence

Members commit 15 hours a year,
outside the forums.

2

Forums

Per year

In person, daylong, off-the-record member gatherings on AI and enterprise transformation, growth and strategy, capital allocation, leadership and succession, and board governance.

6

Executive Circles

90 minutes each

Virtual, facilitated sessions with up to eight senior executives, the same group all year. Bring a live business decision and pressure-test it with peers.

12

Monthly Matches

30 minutes each

A call with a member chosen by BEM for authority, mutual need, and shared situation, with a note on why you two should talk. Built for conversations that move your business forward.

What BEM does for you

The structure is ours.
The conversation is yours.

A named concierge

A real person who knows your goals, checks in each quarter, and makes sure membership keeps paying off for you and your company.

An expert facilitator

A skilled facilitator keeps every circle focused and every voice heard, so your time goes to decisions and strategic insights.

Curated introductions

Each month, a match with a member chosen for what you need and what you offer, built for conversations that move your business forward.

A brief before events

Before each forum, a short note on who is attending and who is worth finding, so every hour in the room builds a business connection.

Fireside chats with leaders

Live virtual conversations with senior leaders across industries, open to members. You leave with insights you can apply to your business.

Off the record by design

Circle sessions are off the record and not recorded, so you can walk through consequential decisions and live business challenges with candor.

For sponsoring companies
