CEO Institute (Queensland) has honoured 17 members by naming them inaugural Fellows to celebrate their commitment as CEOs to ongoing learning and development.
CEO Sue Forrester says the fellows were honoured at a black tie dinner at The Brisbane Club for 90 members and their partners.
“In these frenetic business times, it is appropriate to recognise the commitment of our Fellows to their learning and development as CEOs,” Forrester says.
“They recognise how important it is to keep learning – and to develop their professional network with 150 other CEOs in Queensland,” she says.
Each Fellow has attended 12 meetings each year for more than five years – a commitment of more than four hours each month.
“This takes time and effort – and a significant financial commitment too. Our inaugural fellows know the value of the learning model offered by The CEO Institute,” Forrester adds.
