The purpose of each group is to provide a forum for benchmarking and sharing Best Practice approaches to solving the challenges of today’s marketplace. In addition to lively discussions during the twice a year share meeting, members gain a network of peers to communicate with.
 
  In our 27 years of share group experience, our members have told us that this simple formula adds value to our sessions:
 
Group-directed agendas

Industry guest speakers

Open discussion forum

Voluntary member presentations

Meeting Notes

Group dinners

CMS Consulting provides meeting management, facilitation and guest speaker arrangements. In addition, we conduct timely email survey recapping for members on key topics of interest.

Members pay an annual membership fee, plus fair share of meeting expenses. Each group meets twice per year. If for some reason a member can't attend a meeting, an associate is welcome.
