Marine Corps Business Executive Forum

The Marine Corps Business Executive forum is a Strategic Communication effort that exposes senior business representatives around the country to Marine Corps interests. The forum convenes four times annually allowing members to spend one day in the National Capital Region to meet with officials from Headquarters Marine Corps at the Pentagon, examine operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and discuss critical concepts and programs central to the Marine Corps.

Members also have the opportunity to fire weapons systems, participate in hands-on demonstrations and tour various places in D.C. with significant Marine Corps ties.

Executives interested in this forum can email the Marine Corps Office of Community Relations, Division of Public Affairs at hqmc.comrel@usmc.mil.

    - Harvey Goldberg, Chair, Washington D.C. Vistage Chapter.

"I have spent the last few days trying to distill down what I observed, learned and experienced into a smaller batch of findings that I can utilize in my life and career and to educate my team here at work."
    - Michael Friedman, President, Monarch Industries, Warren, R.I.
