Welcome to CEO Netweavers Membership Essentials

1. Welcome to CEO NetweaversMembership Essentials

2. Who We Are CEO Netweavers is an engaged and diverse community of current and former CEO’s along with a select group of Trusted Advisors and Entrepreneurs, all of whom are committed to freely sharing relationships, knowledge and skills while cultivating trusted relationships. In 2017 CEO Netweavers’ Houston chapter marked its 10th anniversary. The Houston chapter has grown steadily through the enthusiastic leadership of a few committed members. We are a non-profit organization committed to spreading the concept and practice of Servant Leadership in the Houston business community. CEON Core Values: • Servant Leadership • Netweaving/Pay it Forward • Trusted Relationships

3. CEO Netweavers Core Values • The pillars of our organization are based on transforming business practices and enriching lives through the three key principles that serve as the core values of CEO Netweavers: • Servant Leadership: “Transforming business and enriching lives through servant leadership” • This leadership philosophy places the emphasis on the needs of others first by promoting the well-being of those around them. The servant leader demonstrates the characteristics of empathy, listening, stewardship and commitment to personal growth towards others. • Netweaving: “Follow-up and follow through” • The term “Netweaving” is the process of serving as the strategic matchmaker and acting as a willing resource provider for others. Netweaving works because: it builds your personal brand as someone people should know; it instills an unintended sense of obligation by the recipient to assist others; and, it improves the attitude of all involved. • Trusted Relationships: “Bridges of Trust” • These relationships are built on mutual respect based upon the authentic and accountable connections of individuals, personal integrity, confidentiality, candor and self-respect.

4. Practicing Servant Leadership Netweaving is a unique way of building relationships. It is different from networking where the objective is to get information or contacts to further career interests. We believe that the more we give to others the stronger our relationships and our organization becomes. We are interested in others’ needs over our own. We offer to share our skills, experience and relationships freely without any expectation of anything in return. The concept of giving first is at the core of how we practice servant leadership. We are an association of friends, givers giving to givers. We are naturally interested in getting to know each other, our skills, experiences and needs. There is an expectation that all members will adopt our Netweaving practices and standards.
