VANGUARD ROUNDTABLE FOR
GENERAL COUNSELS

The Roundtable has been a unique opportunity to work on real world leadership challenges with peer GCs.  It was better than many hours of expensive advisory time - and I made important additions to my network."

CONTEXT

Launched in July 2022, the GC Roundtable is for GC members of the Vanguard Network to hold regular dialogue with peers around immediate critical issues, and a combination of problem solving and networking in a smaller group with strong follow up.

​

This series of Executive Roundtables is designed to enable GCs in various disciplines an opportunity to meet with their peers in regularly scheduled sessions, to discuss common issues, share solutions, and network.
