HBS Global Forum Set for June
THE BUILDING MUSEUM: Site of a GLF "State Dinner"
Upcoming midterm elections and ongoing political scandals provide a timely backdrop to the 2006 HBS Global Leadership Forum, titled The Private Sector and the Public Interest, slated for June 20–22 in the nation’s capital. The event will challenge upward of 1,000 alumni to consider the interweaving of the public and private worlds and the impact on financial markets, innovation and technology, executive compensation, and society as a whole.
The forum will feature presentations by nearly two dozen HBS professors plus addresses from a wide range of top-ranking industry leaders and government officials , including Jeffrey R. Immelt (MBA ’82), chairman and CEO of GE, and Robert Rubin, former Treasury Secretary. HBS professor Malcolm Salter is the faculty chair, and Charles O. Rossotti (MBA ’64) of The Carlyle Group is alumni chair.
Evening social events will take forum participants inside the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, and the elegant National Building Museum for the re-creation of a White House “State Dinner” as hosted by presidents for foreign dignitaries.
Tours and programs have been specially created for spouses or partners and for children ages 11 to 18. In addition, there are several pre- and post-forum tours, including trips to the Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge mountains and to Civil War battlefields at Manassas and Gettysburg.
