The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia (the Chamber) is proud to announce the FY 25-26 CEO Access Network cohort, supported by the Wells Fargo Foundation. For 17 years now, the CEO Access Network has been a bridge connecting C-suite, established executives (large partners) from Chamber member companies with disability-, LGBTQ+, minority-, veteran-, and women-owned business leaders (small partners) in the Greater Philadelphia community.
Through participation in the CEO Access Network, large and small partners will develop mutually beneficial one-on-one and group relationships where they will lean one another for business advice and counsel, networking and business development opportunities, and support one another’s goals, activities, and growth.
