Your CEO is taking a significant step in investing in your personal and professional development by using C12 as your development program. You are identified as a Key Player in the organization. Your leadership impacts the organization’s achievement of its Vision and Mission. Your ability to demonstrate leadership through the Core Values and the execution of the strategic plan through processes and systems within your organization is paramount to the organization’s success.
The Key Player program is only available to those leaders who have a CEO in C12. Your CEO has found their C12 experience to play a significant role in changing culture to obtain excellence beyond the status quo and is expectant it will do the same for you.
C12 is America’s leading faith-based professional advisory board that focus on equipping CEOs and executives to Build Great Businesses for a Greater Purpose. We are excited for your opportunity to participate with other Key Players, your peers, striving to achieve excellent results and demonstrate superior leadership.
The C12 Experience
Your membership with C12 involves your participation in a monthly executive peer group meeting (better known as a “business sabbatical” – a time focused on working on your business instead of simply in your business), an annual Core Business Presentation peer workshop with your C12 peer advisory forum, access to a comprehensive library of C12 resources, and participation in the national C12 member peer network.
C12 makes every effort to bring together top business leaders representing the most respected and successful businesses in the marketplace. Once per month, we come together as a peer advisory board for a full-day meeting. Our focus during these important meetings includes encouragement, accountability, personal and professional growth, discernment, and a collaborative learning environment as we seek practical business solutions and counsel in all areas of our lives.
Attendance
Our C12 board members have cleared their calendar for the day and invest with their monthly dues because you are at the table. When you miss a meeting, you are not hurting the C12 Chair – you are affecting every member at the meeting. For this reason, you are encouraged to never miss a monthly board meeting. Only two absences are allowed per calendar year. In addition, members are expected to arrive on time and stay for the full forum.
No Solicitation
C12 board members do not solicit one another. Your relationship is that of a “fellow board member.” C12 is not a simple business networking event.
Active Participation & Counsel
Our monthly C12 board meetings are not a time for members to become passive spectators. Every member is encouraged to constantly engage in focused discussions at the table. C12 board members come together each month to present their most critical and pressing issues and challenges to their fellow board members. These discussions are held to a much higher standard than a casual conversation between friends.
To Do Lists & Accountability
Much of our commitment to individual growth is recorded through monthly To Do List items. When we establish a To Do List item, we are committing to ourselves and the others around the table that we will complete this action before returning the following month. Be ready to report to your board each month and to be held accountable for your commitments.
Cancellation of Membership
Recognizing the importance of the relationships between fellow C12 board members, prior to terminating membership, members agree to give one month’s notice and meet with their full forum to express their intent to leave the group. This is a condition of membership considered non-negotiable.
C12 Membership Agreement
Membership Qualification
C12 Key Player membership is by invitation only and is limited to key leaders of C12 CEO Members who work within a member’s organization and carry meaningful leadership responsibility.
Membership Basics
Members meet monthly on a regular day (e.g., 2nd Friday of each month) and commit to faithful attendance – defined as attending at least 10 of 12 monthly meetings each year. As an interactive peer community, the effective functioning of group relationships relies on the stability, timeliness, and transparency that accompany faithful attendance. As a Key Player, it is critical to secure your calendar and seek help from your CEO to protect this time investment.
Membership Agreement and Covenant of Mutual Benefit
I agree that I do/will fulfill the requirements of Membership Qualifications and Membership Basics detailed above. I agree to hold all information shared by other C12 Members in strict confidence, not to actively solicit fellow members, that I will engage according to C12’s stated core values, and that I will refrain from any doctrinal debate. Breaching these standards will result in cancellation of my membership.
It is my understanding that membership is granted on an automatically renewable month-to-month basis. The membership fee (which can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually) is due no later than the first day of each month.
Prior to termination of membership, I agree to convey my intention of leaving to all group members during a regular monthly board meeting and give one month’s notice to my chair.
In agreement to these terms and conditions, I desire to formally submit this application to C12 Greater Phoenix for consideration.
Upon submitting your application, you will be contacted by C12 Greater Phoenix to discuss registration, dues fees, and terms. You will receive two invoices: (1) Registration and (2) your first month’s membership dues.
