Types of TAB Boards

We realize that the business issues faced by businesses of different size can be different; therefore, TAB groups businesses of similar size, experience and complexity in each Board. There are no competitors or substantial existing customer/vendor relationships allowed among members participating within the same Board. The separation measured by sales volume and number of employees is not a firm definition of the type of membership; the professional Facilitator will work with you to determine the best fit for your business and budget needs. Locally, TAB forms the following types of Boards:

President’s Boards

Boards designed for the owners of smaller companies, who are key producers in their businesses’ daily operations. The Boards meet for 3 hours each month (4 hours if over 8 Members) and Members meet monthly with the Facilitator for a 1-hour private session.

Members select topics for both meetings and private sessions, but private sessions tend to be focused on the step-by-step process of developing and implementing the company’s business plan. Meeting agendas typically focus on sales, marketing, human resource, finance and operational issues.

Typically these Boards are formed by businesses of less than a million dollars in revenues and ten employees.  Limited to 10 members per Board.

Strategic Boards

Designed for the executive whose full-time occupation is the management of his or her business. The Boards meet for 4 hours each month, with a monthly private session (up to 1.5 hrs) with the Facilitator.

Meeting agendas typically focus on management and human resource development, marketing strategies, organizational culture, quality improvement, time management, succession planning and exit strategies. An emphasis is placed on the successful implementation of the Member’s strategic business plan.

Typically these Boards are formed by businesses with revenues of one to ten million dollars and more than ten employees.  Limited to 10 members per Board.

Chairman Boards

Limited to executives who function as a manager of managers. Each Member’s firm must have annual revenues of at least $10 million or at least 50 employees. Members may also have 25 years of executive management experience, or whose prior experience is in running a large organization and rapid growth in the current company is anticipated.

The Boards meet for 4 hours each month, with a monthly private session (up to 2 hrs) with the Facilitator on a subject chosen by the Member. Meeting agendas typically focus on executive and organizational development, mergers, acquisitions, competitive strategy, capital markets and the impact of social and economic trends. Limited to 8 members per Board.
