Times Are A-Changin’…Get Your Team to the GHG Forum June 12-13
In response to client requests, GHG is holding its first-ever Client Forum June 12-13 in Washington. With so much change in the air in government programs, the Forum is the perfect opportunity to get your team focused on the road ahead.
Don’t waste your travel budget
We’re less than three months from the GHG Forum. This is NOT your usual conference. We’ve developed a unique educational retreat for management teams working in government programs. I’m thrilled at the presentations our faculty are preparing: we’re putting our senior consultants on the stage to deliver case studies, war stories and tales of best practices. But just as importantly, we’re building in time for you to react to these sessions with your team— to develop questions for your track faculty, compare notes, discuss implementing the best practices you’ve learned about.
