Professional & Leadership Development
APEX Groups
APEX (Advisory Peer Exchange) Groups are an opportunity for ambitious professionals to cultivate meaningful, trusted relationships with peers at similar stages in their careers. Within these groups, members engage in confidential discussions, sharing business challenges, questions, and insights, and receiving valuable advice from one another.
The core aim of an APEX Group is to encourage candid and open communication among a select group of business professionals, all of whom are members of the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce. Meetings are designed to facilitate continuous networking and support, maintaining a confidential and supportive environment for all members.

HOW IT WORKS
Program applicants are split into small groups (8-10 people) of non-competing businesses. A day of the week and time of day will be set, but not meeting dates.
A facilitator is selected for each group.
At the first meeting, your group will determine which dates you will meet; locations to meet; and what topics you want to focus on.
Groups meet monthly for about 1-1.5 hours.
TOPICS VARY AND MAY INCLUDE:
- Increasing profitability
- Finding and keeping good employees
- Managing growth
- Compensation policies
- Writing a business plan
- Balancing family and work
