GBGH aligns its annual work plan to member priorities. So you can expect to see new GBGH products and resources aligned to these priorities. In addition we continue to look for new ways to bring value to our members. Based on your feedback here are some new initiatives you will see in 2019: 

• Regional Summit – allowing your regional colleagues to share a similar experience to our quarterly forum meetings.  The first Latin America Regional Summit was held in January
• Global Summit – the conference in June will bring members an opportunity to benchmark with additional peer companies at our flagship event
