Business Round Table Franchise
Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 08:19PM Mentoring and discussion groups for entrepreneurs
Rick DesBrisay was a businessman in Moncton, New Brunswick, and a member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), an international network of company presidents under 50 years of age. DesBrisay thought such an organization would be useful to Canadian small-business owners who weren't eligible for YPO membership (companies must have at least 50 employees and sales in the millions).
In 1991 he founded the Business Round Table, which, like YPO, is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed in their businesses and personal lives. Groups of 10 to 12 members meet once a month to discuss business problems and opportunities, then work together to solve problems and build more successful businesses. Franchise business owners in Canada and now in the United States act as facilitators and teachers for group members.
