Overview
Purpose
The purpose of the Christian Executive Officers group is “Businessmen living Christ by balancing and empowering all aspects of their lives.“
CEO accomplishes our purpose by:
FOCUSING – on (A) the connection between professional life and personal life and (B) Christian leadership principles.
INFORMING – about relevant issues that impact Christian businessmen today.
EQUIPPING – providing effective practical tools and best practices.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING – fostering a safe and supportive environment for healthy networking / fellowship and transparent discussion and prayer.
BIBLICAL LIVING – serving others joyfully by obediently modeling Christ’s love, humility, and truth.
Legal Status
CEO is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit organization. It was established in 1987 by a group of local San Diego Christian businessmen.
All Board and Committee positions are unpaid volunteer positions and are filled by professing evangelical Christian men that embrace the CEO statement of faith.
About the CEO Network
CEO members have opportunities with hundreds of professionals and organizations throughout San Diego County and beyond.
CEO has over 300 men in our contact network. Our “sister” organization Professional Women’s Fellowship (PWF) has over 500 women in their contact network. Not all of these individuals are members of the two organizations, but they are connected to CEO and PWF in some way. Both organizations team together in professional events, social events, marketing, and community initiatives. Becoming a member of CEO connects you to a large and amazing group of Christ centered professionals throughout San Diego.
CEO also aligns with other Christian business and ministry organizations for special events including evangelism, networking, socializing, community activism, fun (golf), and other activities. Currently CEO leaders are meeting at a round table venue with 10 different Christian business organizations to explore getting to know each other better. Future joint events are anticipated.
