NVC’s C-Suite Roundtables are Connecting Executives

NVC has a strong track record for bringing together Regional leaders and hosting crucial discussions that spur business growth. For decades, it has been NVC’s primary goal to advance the business community in the Greater Washington Region. In keeping with this goal, NVC introduced C-Suite Roundtable events to emphasize high-level discourse on subjects critical to leadership. Every roundtable is facilitated by a subject matter expert who is also a recognized Regional leader, taking place over breakfast or lunch.

 

By invitation-only and member-exclusive, our C-Suite Roundtables are designed to be smaller, more intimate events that encourage connection-building at the elite level. Our next C-Suite Roundtable event is fast approaching, with this month’s topic taking a deep dive into the history of the economy and the real estate sector of the Northern Virginia Region:  

 

August 27th

Andrew Painter, Partner, Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh

“The Evolution of Northern Virginia's Built Environment”

 

If you have an interest in attending an upcoming C-Suite Roundtable, please contact Carmen Sevilla, Director, Member Engagement, at csevilla@nvcbusiness.org.

Members, we encourage you to submit original guest articles for inclusion in NVC's blog, newsletter, and social media channels. Learn more about submitting your article, here.
