Roundtables

Global Logistics RoundTable

The Global Logistics RoundTable is a gathering of national corporate executives who have senior-level responsibility for logistics, operations and supply chain management.

Membership is by invitation only and is not limited to a specific number of companies. Members are expected to share their ideas, tactics and practices in the field of logistics with the roundtable in order to facilitate a free-flowing open forum. Only one company per industry will be seated on the roundtable in order to develop a network of peers in a non-competitive environment and enhance the depth of conversations.

Activities

The Global Logistics RoundTable provides programming aimed at the issues and concerns of its members. Members select the topics for discussion at roundtable meetings, which are led by industry experts. Examples of past meeting topics include economic conditions, best operational practices, talent development, and organizational health and performance.

Human Resources Executive RoundTable

The Human Resources Executive RoundTable comprises top human resources executives from major Atlanta companies and strives to aid members in achieving their organizational goals.

The roundtable was established by members of the Department of Management, the Beebe Institute of Personnel and Employment Relations, executive programs and the Career Advancement Center - all units of the Robinson College of Business. Invitation-only membership is limited to about 25 companies because smaller meetings can allow for more thoughtful discussion.

Activities

The Human Resources Executive RoundTable provides high-quality programs aimed at the concerns of corporate human resources executives. These programs are strategic in focus, and the topics are chosen as a result of membership surveys. The meetings are either led by carefully chosen experts or built around roundtable discussion topics driven by questions from members.

The Robinson College of Business is committed to helping RoundTable members be more effective in their marketing efforts and maintain and support Atlanta’s world-class caliber of marketing.

The overarching goal is to bring together the top marketing officers of some of the largest firms based in Georgia. Members are from non-competing organizations, and membership is by invitation only.

The RoundTable hosts a series of activities, including thought leadership, social events, lunch-and-learns, and more.

 

Sales Executive RoundTable

The Sales Executive RoundTable gives members the opportunity to network with their peers and to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field.

The Sales Executive RoundTable was founded in 2012 by Stephen P. Young, retired senior vice president at MCI and Verizon; Young also served as a Robinson lecturer. Our members comprise top sales officers from major Atlanta-area firms. Membership is limited to 25 companies to ensure that executives can effectively network with their peers and enjoy thoughtful discussion of meeting topics.

Activities

The Sales Executive RoundTable provides programming designed to enhance member effectiveness in achieving organizational goals. Meetings are led by preeminent sales experts or conducted as roundtable discussions on topics selected by members.

Member firms enjoy a special relationship with the faculty of Robinson’s Department of Marketing. In exchange for financial support and access to corporate resources, members receive advice and research assistance as well as priority access to 1,500 graduate and undergraduate students who are concentrating their studies in sales and marketing disciplines.
