Power and prestige aren’t handed out—they’re earned. At the Annual Family Office Luncheon, 300 family offices managing $28 billion will be watching, but it’s the brand that takes the lead that will be remembered. That brand? Yours. You’re not interested in just showing up—you’re here to dominate. If you’re ready to own the conversation, let’s talk about how you can make this event a showcase for your leadership in luxury.

While it’s no secret that the Bay Area faces formidable challenges, no other region in the country holds greater promise to drive transformative change, prosperity and innovation.  Promise for the future. And very few other business or civic organizations across the country can claim the decades-long successful impact of the Bay Area Council and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. I have been privileged to serve the region, and its people, as a longtime board member of both organizations. Now, the prospect of these two great organizations joining forces, inspires me to believe that we can, and will, drive once-in-a-generation change at a pivotal moment for our region. The time to act is now. Together, we can set a new, bold and ambitious vision for the region's future. https://lnkd.in/gyZDRvFW

Exciting updates from the Acacia team! 🌟 We're thrilled to share that we just concluded two large strategy engagements—one with a national school network and another with a multi-billion dollar foundation. It's been an honor to collaborate with these visionary CEOs, and we'd love to highlight some takeaways from these projects. 1️⃣ Building culture through strategy: Organizations often build strategy at the top and think about culture change only in the roll-out of the plan. Instead, it can be much more powerful to use strategic planning itself as an opportunity to begin the change process. Thoughtfully engaging internal and external stakeholders can help not only create a shared vision, but also establish new norms and ways of working. 2️⃣ Amplifying impact through partnership: No organization operates in a vacuum. Organizations can increase their impact by identifying critical-path partners and integrating them into the planning process, whether through active coordination or simply a better understanding of where to play. In one client’s case, this meant convening counterparts across the city to map strategic priorities, allowing us to identify gaps for our client to focus on. 3️⃣ Going from strategy to execution: Shifting from strategy to execution is hard. Building initiative plans with the people who are leading the execution is an important step to enable a successful transition. This process can help functional leaders get clear on what they are trying to achieve and how. To learn more about our work, visit www.acaciapartners.co.

Congratulations to Joe de Vera on the launch of our newest Vistage Chief Executive group in Boise, Idaho. Joe has put his heart into putting together a group of successful executives who meet to share their knowledge, and provide each other with support as they grow, collaborate, explore options and problem solve together. As a Vistage Chair, Joe joins the ranks of trusted guides who lead peak-performing CEOs to new heights, in business and in life. We call it “the CEO’s climb” where everyone has each other’s back, helping each other rise to the challenge time and again. “Living, doing business and raising my family in Boise, ID has been a life-changing experience.  Starting my life as an immigrant – being born in the Philippines, then emigrating to the US when I was three years old and growing up in Long Beach, CA – would place the idea of me planting my roots in a community like Boise, ID in about as far of a mental reach as possible.  However, my eventual move to Boise 24 years ago with my family has been one of the best decisions of my life and career.  Therefore, when I was approached with the opportunity of building a Vistage CE group, I saw it as not only a profound career challenge, but also as one that would allow me to give back to the community that I love and am proud to call home.” - Joe de Vera Are you ready to launch your own legacy? Move from a life of success to a life of even greater reward. As a Vistage Chair, you’ll be a leader of leaders — drawing from your years of business experience to help CEOs to greater heights.
