Vanguard Network Launches Next Gen GC Program in Washington, DC

On September 30, 2025, The Vanguard Network launched the inaugural module of its Next Gen GC Program in Washington, DC. This six-part program is designed to prepare rising general counsel for the unique challenges of top leadership roles, with an emphasis on foresight, practical skills, and peer-to-peer learning.

The opening forum was generously hosted by Foley & Lardner LLP, setting the stage for a day of candid discussion and interactive sessions. Following the program, participants gathered for a dinner at the River Club, hosted by Russell Reynolds Associates, where conversations continued in a more informal and collaborative setting.

The Next Gen GC Program represents Vanguard’s commitment to equipping the next generation of general counsel with the tools and community they need to succeed at the highest levels of leadership. Future modules will build on the strong start in Washington, DC and continue to blend practical learning with confidential peer exchange.
