TESTIMONIALS

John Torres  |  EVP & Chief Legal Officer  |  Lennox International

The Forum provides the senior level in-house legal community first rate benchmarking, networking, CLE and sharing of best practices, for an extremely modest cost.  The quality and value are unmatched by any other legal organization.


David S. Reiter | VP, General Counsel & Secretary | Luminex Corporation

The Forum provides a rare combination of best practices discussion and networking at a senior level that is unique in Texas and essential to how we counsel our clients and provide the greatest value to our companies.


Andrew D. Farley | Executive Vice President & General Counsel | KBR, Inc.

The Forum is an excellent resource for senior in-house counsel. The programs and networking opportunities are exceptional. It is a reliable and cost-effective resource that makes my job easier.


Christopher S. Willis | GC & Director HR & Legal | Interstate Battery System of America

The Forum is the most valuable professional organization in which I have been involved. Program content and networking are designed and driven by general counsel for general counsel.  I’m not aware of any other organization that does as good of a job creating a senior level in-house “community.”


Ron DeMoss  |  EVP & General Counsel  |  Rent-A-Center

I’m glad we were convinced to stay in. I’m getting much more out of the organization than my highest expectations.

 
Jennifer L. Vogel  |  Former SVP, General Counsel, Secretary & CCO  |  Continental Airlines, Inc.

Being able to share ideas and discuss issues with fellow general counsel who face similar challenges is a resource that is not available anywhere else.


Duncan A. Simpson  |  General Counsel  |  B29 Investments, L.P  (solo GC)

The friendships and connections I have made through the Forum are invaluable whenever one a sticky issue arises.  I contact a fellow Forum member and rely on the fact the he or she has likely already walked where I am about to tread.  It is a comfort and an advantage that enables me to meet my many client’s various needs.


Elaine E. Whitbeck  |  VP, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel  |  Alcon Laboratories, Inc.

I have been a member of the Forum since 1999 because it has been one of the most value-added legal organizations to which I have belonged during my thirty years of practice. The Forum provides access to other GCs sharing the same issues and challenges as you on a "real time" basis.  This sharing of legal expertise and long-term experience has been extremely beneficial, not only for my company/client, but for me personally as well.
 

Ronald Taylor  |  VP, Special Counsel for Business Development  |  Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas

While offering cost-effective CLE opportunities throughout the year, the real learning experience comes during the time surrounding the formal presentations when you have a chance to visit with the other GCs sharing truly valuable information and ideas.

 
Dona H. Cornell  |  General Counsel  |  University of Houston System

The Forum offers unique educational and networking opportunities that bring together top notch instructors and senior lawyers to give the lawyers a chance to think strategically and proactively about our work.

 
Charles E. Hardy  |  General Counsel  |  Austin Industries, Inc.

The Forum is the best opportunity I get for peer group interactions.  The annual conference and other Forum events are great for meeting with other general counsel to share common interests and concerns.


David Snyder  |  SVP, General Counsel, Compliance Officer & Sec.  |  Ethos Group Holdings

The General Counsel Forum is truly an outstanding organization.
