Three years ago, Camber Outdoors (formerly OIWC) launched the highly successful CEO Pledge, a nationally recognized thought-leadership movement that is catalyzing change within the business cultures of over 75 outdoor active lifestyle companies.
Through the CEO Pledge, these organizations are successfully established women’s leadership as an ongoing strategic business imperative that results in consistent growth, competitive advantage and positively up-leveled company cultures. But it is a true journey – complete with successes and learnings.
In this era of business transformation, Camber Outdoors is committed to bringing resources to the forefront for company leaders eager to know what works today for success – it starts from within. That’s why Camber Outdoors has dedicated its Keynote Event at this year’s Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show exhibitors to enabling business leaders to learn first hand from four pioneering companies from the CEO Pledge.
Show attendees can learn first hand from CEO Pledge pioneers Donna Carpenter, CEO Burton, Sally McCoy former CEO CamelBak, Jerry Stritzke, CEO REI, and Jim Weber, CEO Brooks Running. The gathering is part celebration, part workshop and part keynote. Leaders in the active-outdoor industries are encouraged to engage in a peer-to-peer dialogue at the event, intended to explore business modernization and sustainable growth through leadership diversity and inclusion. In previous years, attendees have benefited from the insights of trailblazers such as Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario, former backcountry.com CEO Jill Layfield, and former Black Diamond CEO Peter Metcalf.
