“Getting to build this Vistage chapter with these core founding members… my ‘Knight of the Round Table’ if you will, has been an exciting journey." said Sonya Bailor, Chair of the chapter.  "It is quite spectacular when you get to be at the table that you’ve always wished to be at… and even more so when you get to build and lead that table. I am excited to continue this journey with these founding members and looking forward to the others that will come to the table. The power of this table; the power of Vistage is something I am proud to be a part of. I look forward to every piece of growth we will experience together, with all of the highs and lows that come with it.”

The chapter represents a wide range of industries and expertise, ensuring that members benefit from a broad spectrum of perspectives and best practices. Each member brings a wealth of experience in their respective fields, backgrounds, upbringings, and more contributing to the rich tapestry of knowledge and expertise within the group.

Members meet monthly to participate in confidential group meeting and receive one-to-one coaching from an experienced executive coach. Additionally, they gain access to VISTAGE’s global network and members, expanding their reach and resources beyond the local community.

With ten spots remaining in this group, the VISTAGE North Alabama Chapter is seeking leaders who are ready to challenge norms, gain fresh perspectives, and step out of their comfort zones for the betterment of their companies, their teams, and themselves.

"I am excited to get to know who else will be around this table with us." said Sonya Bailor.
