Orange County, CA, February 23, 2017 — To launch his latest Chief Executive group in the Orange County market, Vistage Chair Bill Van Vleet is seeking CEOs and business owners that will meet monthly to discuss business issues, share expertise, and provide one another confidential help to achieve their goals. He is part of a community of more than 900 Chairs worldwide who lead and mentor local peer advisory boards.

Now as a Vistage Chair, my mission is to give back to this community and help other leaders expand their success in business and achieve even greater significance in their personal lives. This opportunity is open to a few exceptional business leaders in Orange County who are interested in working together to grow their companies faster and easier.”
