Dear VP Circle Members,
I hope you had a wonderful summer filled with rest, recharge, and a smooth “Back to School” September. I'm excited to officially welcome you to the 2025–2026 VP Circle Season!
Our theme this year is:
“We’re On Our Way Up!”
At VP Circle, this season is rooted in one powerful belief: progress happens through connection.
“We’re On Our Way Up” isn’t just a theme — it’s a call to action. A reminder that growth, influence, and opportunity don’t happen in isolation. They’re amplified when we surround ourselves with the right people, in the right rooms.
Whether you’re looking to:
…the people in your circle can accelerate that journey. Conversations spark ideas. Introductions open doors. Shared insight drives sharper decisions.
VP Circle is where that momentum begins.
It’s your space to:
✅ Build meaningful relationships with high-level peers
✅ Exchange ideas, insights, and opportunities
✅ Be intentional about your next chapter
With nearly 900 members on LinkedIn and growing, this community is stronger than ever. And this season, we’re not just talking about moving forward — we’re actively doing it. Together.
Our 2025-2026 Season
FORMAT: This year, we’re also taking a more intentional approach to each event.
Every gathering will center around a curated sub-theme and guided discussion prompts, designed to move us beyond surface-level conversation. Our goal is to create space for deeper dialogue, fresh perspective, and more meaningful connections — the kind that elevate both relationships and results.
