WESTPORT, MA, ISSUED OCTOBER 4, 2012…Westport, MA resident Bill Reed, Chair with Vistage, the global organization which pioneered the concept of peer-to-peer CEO groups, was a panelist in a recent forum held at Babson College sponsored by the Exit Planning Exchange (XPX).

The September 27th forum entitled “The Power of Peer Groups to Support Growth and Change” brought together a panel of five CEOs and peer group facilitators to address the many benefits of peer groups.  The lively discussion underscored how the advice and support received by peer groups can be critical to the success of business owners and CEOs.

“It was a privilege to participate in this engaging and informative roundtable and speak to the many advantages of the peer group experience,” said Reed.  “Increasingly, CEOs and other executive decision makers are becoming aware of the process and power of peer groups and the benefits they offer.”
