quoteimageOne I report to the General Counsel at our company. He’s a member of The Conference Board and said his experiences are the only impactful and actionable professional experiences he’s ever found. I also find value in the reports, and not necessarily in my business area. For instance, I just downloaded the Fortune 500 philanthropy overview. It’s helpful to me to see what other companies are doing in this area.  quoteimageTwo

The size of the group is good, and the confidential discussions amongst one’s peers are priceless.  quoteimageTwo
