Member Experience

The Council has been valuable to me on many levels. I enjoy the camaraderie that’s developed among the council members...great colleagues willing to share their expertise both at meetings and outside. I’ve also enjoyed and benefited from the continued professional development. It’s nice to be a part of a group that has a commitment to continuous learning and the clout to be able to learn from the best.

I belong to various professional groups and rarely attend their conferences or meetings. The topics we cover at each meeting are very timely and the level of expertise in the room helps us to deepen our understanding of the practice.

Joseph Whittinghill, Managing Director, Venture Integration Group, Microsoft

The most valuable thing to me about being a member of this Council is it really gives you thinking space. It gives you an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, to talk to peers who have similar interests, but different challenges.
