COVID-19 GUIDANCE
Out of an abundance of caution over the path of the latest COVID delta variant, our events in September will remain virtual-only. Like you, we look forward to returning to adding an in-person element to our events when we can safely do so, hopefully later this fall.
John C. Williams, club chair and president & CEO federal reserve bank of New York; The Honorable Gina M. Raimondo, secretary of commerce; Christopher Wray, director of the FBI; and Hans Vestberg, chairman and CEO of Verizon and many others are confirmed to address our members in the coming weeks. More details on our fall line-up will be forthcoming. Many thanks in advance for your understanding and patience.
