By providing executives and other senior-level professionals, who are either somewhat new to Greater Hartford or new to their leadership role, with a fast, but comprehensive overview of the region, the Executive Orientation Program is eye-opening in so many ways! Participants personally engage with fellow leaders from across a broad spectrum of the region’s business, educational, nonprofit and civic organizations.

“This is a wonderful program to learn about and support Hartford. This is recommended for absolutely everyone, residents of the suburbs or those employed in Hartford. We need this now at this crucial rebuilding point in Hartford. I am a better cheerleader after witnessing how you presented and tied together our resources.”
Executive Director of MakerspaceCT
Over the five-session program, Executive Orientation participants build their networks by connecting to key regional stakeholders and learning about the assets and challenges of their Capital City – many times over the course of delicious meals. And by connecting with Leadership Greater Hartford’s network of thousands of community-minded leaders, they discover ways they too can contribute to strengthening the region.

“I was enamored with Hartford after the first session of EOP. I moved here for employment yet haven’t taken the time to explore and learn about the history, arts, business and nonprofit communities. In addition, I met leaders from the political and educational sectors, all of which make Hartford a vibrant community in which to live, learn and to grow”
Director of Nonprofit Support Program, Hartford Foundation for Public Giving
