What is the executive board?
The Executive Board, founded in 2002 by Kirk Boyd and other prominent executives, unites Washington, D.C, metro area business leaders. The Executive Board Lunch provides a space for C-suite executives to meet and share original content and perspectives while benefiting from personal interactions and relationship-building.
What is the Executive Board?
Whether it pertains to the challenges of ownership structure, leadership transitions, or any other management puzzle, all executives have learned lessons that only come from experience. By intentionally forging a regular opportunity to gather and exchange ideas, we seek to build authentic relationships between community leaders, who would not typically convene "across corporate boundaries," in a small recurring forum. In the end, valuable and timely suggestions, referrals, and connections are made.

Before each meeting, the organizers consider how each invited guest might benefit:​
What do they need to accomplish?
What introductions would benefit them most?
-
At the meetings, everyone is encouraged to network and connect those who might not otherwise engage. Past outcomes have included partnerships, contracts, collaborations, and career moves
-
The busiest executives benefit most. If you think you don’t have time, you will find value in the presentations, camaraderie, ideas, and opportunities that your 90-minute investment will generate. In an atmosphere where everyone comfortably shares their experiences, the best ideas and ongoing, trusted relationships are generated.
If this approach sounds promising, then you will feel right at home at The Executive Board.
