History

Chief Executive Network (CEN) was founded in 1990 by Dr. Ronald E. Wiley. In 1994, Bob Grabill, the current President and CEO, acquired the organization and at that same time, introduced the Senior Executive Network (SEN).

Since then, Chief and Senior Executive Networks have conducted over 350 membership and meetings and have hosted 18 top management conferences featuring speakers such as Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, Terri Kelly, CEO of W. L. Gore & Associates, Larry Bossidy, former Chairman of Honeywell Corporation, Jim Goodnight, CEO of SAS, and Fred Poses, CEO of American Standard.

Today, CEN & SEN are composed of over 550 members spanning six industries.

• • "The CEN group has been beneficial to me as President of a company owned by PE firm because CEN provides me a unique networking system/process in a non-competitive environment that allows me to ‘connect’ with my peer group on a regular basis and discuss sensitive business issues and concerns. I have benefited both personally and professionally from my membership in CEN with new friendships and a strong network of new business associates."
