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.

  • “The Leadership Greater Hartford Executive Orientation Program was a wonderful opportunity to reacquaint myself with the City! As a Hartford native, I assumed I knew most things about Hartford. However as I embarked on a new role it became more important to meet other senior level leaders in-person especially after a pandemic. LGH afforded us experiences to network and learn about established landmarks but also about new innovation, education, and business/entrepreneurial plans underway for our Capital's growth!”

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.

  • “LGH's Executive Orientation Program (EOP) was an extremely valuable experience for me beginning a new position as Executive Director of the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG). LGH provides its EOP participants with an informative introduction to our capital city and helpful connections to talented people working in the arts, culture, human services, government, and business sectors. Plus, the program tours enable you to see different parts of the city and to become more familiar with its diverse neighborhoods and communities. I now feel better equipped to serve our region in my new role. Thanks, LGH, for an engaging, inspiring, and educational experience!”
