Everything at a glance
HarbourClub pursues clearly defined objectives.
In a world of continuous transformation, the success of a business largely hinges on how it is perceived. Good corporate communications play a decisive role in this. Only those who create relevance and build trust can manage today’s altered communications and media landscape over the long term.
Adding value
HarbourClub supports this mindset with internal activities exclusively reserved for members, supplemented by external added-value events. The focus in each case is on topics that raise a Chief Communications Officer’s awareness of minor details and open their eyes to the bigger picture.
Exclusive
The Club was founded in Harbour House in Zurich in 2000. Its membership is limited to 100. The members are active Chief Communications Officers (CCO) from businesses and organizations in Switzerland and up to ten other people who play an important role in the Swiss communications landscape.
The Club’s Managing Board
The Managing Board, under the leadership of the President, is committed to keeping the organization lean and promoting pragmatic collaboration.
It acts as a management body from an operations perspective and also provides impetus for particular topics. The Managing Board convenes the Regular Members’ Meeting and is responsible for organizing internal and external events and activities. Its work always incorporates suggestions from the membership.

Club bylaws – Preamble
HarbourClub aims to provide its members, who share an interest in how organizations communicate, with an informal platform for exchanging information and experiences. As a “club” in the literal sense, it keeps expenditure, management and administration to a minimum and is not involved in the kind of activities synonymous with associations.
