Executive Networks

For the past 14 years, Executive Networks has gathered business and civic leaders to offer access to the business issues and strategic organizations of highest value to local clients, colleagues and competitors. After spending focused time with a class of 30 peers over a period of ten weeks, participants walk away with meaningful connections and a broader knowledge of the challenges and opportunities throughout Greater Washington.

“The Executive Network program is one of the only opportunities to immediately become entrenched into the activities of one of Washington’s most important organizations, and with other senior level executives."
- Malcolm Marshall, III, Senior Director, Cushman & Wakefield of Washington, DC Inc.

“After the first session where the region’s political and community leaders provided our group with a detailed overview of the region’s issues, business culture and opportunities, I knew this program was something to protect on my calendar. Committing myself to this program has given me strong connections to people and business that would not have happened otherwise."
- Patti Nuttycombe Cochran, Vice President – CSC, Right Management
