Nick Arvis
Presidents Advisory Committee
P.O. Box 596
Hinsdale, IL 60522
Phone: 630-514-9243
E-Mail Address: NickA@PresidentsAdvisoryCommittee.com
Nick Arvis has been involved in CEO peer groups for over 10 years. In 1990, as a member of the University of Chicago Entrepreneurial Roundtable, he formed a group of business owners who met monthly to work through business issues. He has been involved with peer groups ever since and has formed the Presidents Advisory Committee (PAC) to provide the preeminent peer group experience to second-stage business owners across America.
According to Nick, the greatest single benefit of the CEO peer group experience is to give second-stage business owners a regular opportunity to “work on their businesses, not in their businesses,” and he has developed a unique set of tools that makes it easy for business leaders to accomplish this in a safe, confidential environment.
Nick has been in and around entrepreneurial businesses his entire life. After starting a landscaping and painting company in high school, he attended Northwestern University and received his Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering.
Afterward, while helping form his construction contracting companies, he earned his MBA in Finance from The University of Chicago.
Nick is a member of the Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, Chapters of The Entrepreneurial Institute.
