Established in 1990, The Alternative Board® facilitates monthly peer advisory boards comprised of local owners, presidents and CEOs who run non-competing businesses. Each month members gather to share experiences and solve challenges to grow to the next level.

TAB Boards® consist of presidents, CEOs, owners and managing partners of privately owned businesses. The boards of up to 10 members each meet monthly under the guidance of a TAB-Certified Facilitator/Coach. Board members also receive monthly one-on-one hour-long private coaching sessions from their facilitator/coach. Because no one lays claim to the members' business, the result is no-holds-barred feedback and a sounding board for business best-practices.

A thorough training process was developed for TAB-Certified Facilitators/SBL-Certified Coaches. Each facilitator/coach has extensive top-level business management experience and many have active consulting practices. Facilitators serve as executive coaches, guiding members through planning and development processes and moderating boards.

More than 200 TAB-Certified Facilitators/Coaches now conduct monthly board meetings across the United States, Canada and South America. Since its inception, thousands of businesses have benefited from the TAB process.
