2017 Circle of Advisors Program for Executive Women

The HBA NY/NJ region Circle of Advisors is a peer-circle program for eligible executive women members of the HBA. The program—offered for the sixth time by HBA NY/NJ's Executive Women’s Outreach (EWO)—is designed to offer executive women a strong peer-to-peer community. It will continue to provide meaningful opportunities for innovative career development and peer influence among executive level leaders.

Each Circle of Advisors will be comprised of four to five participating executives and an executive coach, selected based on proven expertise and experience partnering with and supporting top-tier leaders to facilitate discussions.

Each circle will meet monthly over the course of this nine-month program. Also included in the registration cost for this program are three events:

Kickoff dinner – 19 September (mandatory)

Mid-program event - February/March 2018

End of program celebration - June 2018
