— Retention – Focuses on talent sustainability by exposing members to partners and other senior leaders who can provide valuable advice, help them navigate their careers, and support their success in a high-performance culture.

— Advancement – Provides insights on how to build the reputational capital needed to accelerate development and career progression.

— Business Process Group – Addresses the specific needs of our Business Process Group professionals, providing guidance to help them manage their careers while increasing their visibility and marketability in

the workplace.
