GENERAL COUNSEL EXCHANGE

The exchange 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."

DAVID ROBINSON

Former General Counsel

The Hartford

CONTEXT

Launched in July 2022, the GC Exchange 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 Exchanges 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.
