The Telecom Council has General membership, but also has special interest groups, which we call "Forums".
Executive Forum The Executive Forum is exclusively for executives and decision makers from Telecom Council member companies. This elite Forum has an online community and holds a quarterly executive-only events to discuss the big picture of what is happening in our industry - from changes in technology, services, business fundamentals, and of course, the carriers. Individuals must be executives from Telecom Council member companies, and meet the criteria of roughly C-level position in smaller companies and VP-level in public companies.
