Fueling High Performance with Servant Leadership

Further Exploring the New Business Paradigm

Join us in growing a community of servant leadership.

CEO Netweavers is a volunteer organization dedicated to propagating the values of servant leadership through educating leaders to affect higher organizational performance. Members of CEO Netweavers strive to exemplify the values of a servant leader, notably serving others with the expectation of receiving nothing in return.

CEO Netweavers Houston will be holding its second annual Servant Leadership Conference on Friday, March 5, 2010 at the Omni Riverway in Houston. As a Servant Leadership Conference sponsor, you will be provided many opportunities to present yourself and your company to other CEOs and community leaders in Houston and beyond. In 2010, CEO Netweavers will be implementing interactive elements like Podcasts and Twitter feeds that will allow sponsors to interact with conference attendees and share their views and experiences with Servant Leadership. We will help you spread your message.

When you sponsor the Servant Leadership Conference, you are taking part in a paradigm shift, one that is changing the way we do business and spread ideas. It is a change that puts an emphasis on characteristics like empathy, stewardship and listening – characteristics that are often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of today’s business environment.

As a sponsor of the 2010 Servant Leadership Conference, you are taking part in a change for the good. To reflect these changes, we have updated our sponsorship package for the 2010 Servant Leadership Conference.

These groups will continue sharing ideas and carrying out the philosophy of servant leadership through 2010. Gold and presenting sponsors will be offered the opportunity to act as leaders in the groups if they so desire. They will also get brand recognition and signage on all social and print media throughout the year.
