Monthly YouTube Series & Podcast
The New England Council launched “Inside the Corner Office” as a virtual event series in 2021. The series features monthly virtual conversations with the chief executive (CEO, President, or Executive Director) of an NEC member company or organization. NEC President & CEO Jim Brett serves as the moderator of these programs.
The purpose of the series is to introduce leaders from throughout the region to a broad audience of NEC members across an array of industries. The programs give each guest the opportunity to share their own background, as well as to highlight key priorities and initiatives at their company or organization. Council members, in turn, have the opportunity to get to know and learn from the leaders of some of the region’s most well-known and highly respected corporations, organizations, and institutions. Guests include corporate CEOs, non-profit CEOs/Executive Directors, and college/university Presidents.
In 2023, the Council transitioned the program to a monthly YouTube series and podcast, released on the first of every month.
