MEETINGS
Five meetings a year are hosted by members
Multiple in-person and virtual meetings each year connect members to top peers and high-profile guest speakers. Video meetings are held at least monthly and in-person meetings are hosted by members in major business cities, mostly running noon-to-noon over two days so travelers can minimize time on the road. Members choose meetings that fit their schedules. Attendance at in-person meetings is limited, which contributes to more meaningful and engaging discussion. Substitutions are not permitted.
Recent guest speakers include:
Tom Bevan, co-founder and president of Real Clear Politics
Carl Hulse, chief Washington correspondent, New York Times
The Honorable Kathy Hochul, New York Lt. Gov.
Jon Steinberg, Founder and CEO, Cheddar
Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO, The Gallup Organization
