Leading the Executive Team

Organizing Principles

  • We will meet bi-monthly for 2-3 hours.

  • We will rotate between Kenwood Country Club in Bethesda and the Tower Club in Tysons.

  • Jack and Mark will cover costs of lunch; we might administer a small fee to cover hosting and lunch.

  • Our meetings will remain confidential - what is said in the meeting stays in the meeting.

  • All commit to making these meetings a priority so that all get the most out of participation.
