I have the opportunity to serve and learn from a group of committed and caring professional business leaders. Their desire to continuously develop as leaders motivates me to be the best Chair and coach I can by introducing excellent speakers, facilitating meaningful dialogue, and encouraging truthful and compassionate support of each other.

As a Vistage Chair I get to focus

Erik Larson

Petoskey, MI
Vistage Chair since 2011


Our individual human journeys are most meaningful when we embrace the power of continued development and change – this commitment allows for more full expression of our personal potential and positive impact for others. Being a Chair both allows me to walk this journey for myself and to guide others as they create new boundaries for their professional and personal journeys.

Growth thrives when we look inward and challenge ourselves to question our “knowns”, leverage experiences and perspectives and learn from self-reflection and that of others’ to uncover blind spots, and ultimately, create better outcomes and life experiences.

member

Bernie Kerschbaum

Southeastern MI
Vistage Chair since 2023


Leaders create autonomy and make positive differences in their lives and the lives they touch. As a chair, I devote my energy to helping executives develop their leadership skills and help others solve their most pressing issues and opportunities. Tapping into the experiences of others in a powerful group of like-minded peers can quickly transform your company, family, and community.

Life is about the people you meet and what you create with them along the way. My hope is to lead by example creating a ripple effect in our community, making it a better place.

member

Pete Thomas

To lead others, great leaders first lead themselves. Great leaders grow intentionally by pursuing personal development. Great leaders have coaches. I serve these leaders by facilitating that growth process as a Vistage Chair.
