Member Advisory Board Meeting Notes
The fourth installment of the Corporate United Advisory Board convened in Chicago for their inaugural meeting on August 19th.
The new board, comprised of Dennis Bent (BAE Systems), Don Seward (CH2M HILL), Mike Rager (Diebold), Ed Benevides (Genworth Financial), and Reuben Slone (OfficeMax) met with the Corporate United leadership team to discuss the future direction of Corporate United.
Specific topics of conversation included:
“As ever, Corporate United remains a member-driven organization, and we are extremely happy with the feedback and direction we received during this initial session,” said Corporate United COO, Marc Rosen. “Members of the board will be serving as sponsors of specific initiatives to ensure a greater level of member input and accountability.”
We look forward to future meetings of this board, and we will be updating the rest of the membership on the specific results of those discussions.
