Named in honor of James McGlothlin, Chairman and CEO of The United Company, this year's edition of the Forum will be held on Oct. 8-10, 2013.
The Forum will feature a series of discussions between and among the McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows - pre-eminent leaders in their fields - and students and faculty of the business and law schools, culminating in a plenary session of open exchange, active debate, and analysis of the challenges of the global economy and the political, legal, and free enterprise systems that comprise it. The Forum Fellows are chosen annually and exemplify the pinnacle of leadership, vision, integrity and revolutionary thinking.
