Member Experience

The principal benefit of membership on a Conference Board Council is the opportunity to hear first-hand what your peers are doing at their companies. There's no other forum that I know of where you can get this kind of invaluable inside information. It also provides the opportunity to get a head start on tackling the challenges facing you by hearing how others who have faced the same challenges dealt with them.
