About the SVAGC
|
SVAGC Activities
|
The Silicon Valley Association of General
Counsel provides a congenial setting for general counsel to
meet professionally and socially. Its primary activity is
a series of monthly luncheons, each including an informal
discussion period and MCLE-accredited presentation on a topic of
particular interest to the SVAGC's membership. The SVAGC
also cooperates in special projects, such as a member
benchmarking survey and an
annual multi-track MCLE conference
designed for general counsel, staff counsel and
paraprofessionals from legal departments in the technology and
life science sectors. |

History and
Organization of the SVAGC
|
The SVAGC is rooted in a program that began
over 20 years ago, when a handful of Silicon Valley general
counsel arranged to lunch together each month to discuss issues
of common interest. Over the years, the group
has grown to include over 100 chief legal officers from scores
of publicly traded companies and multinational subsidiaries
located throughout the Bay Area, spanning the technology and
life science sectors: software, electronics, power technology,
biotechnology, medical devices, health informatics, materials
science, communications and networking infrastructure,
e-commerce and Internet services. In
2003, the SVAGC was formally organized as a California mutual
benefit nonprofit corporation; "membership" (the Board of
Directors are the only statutory members) involves
participation in SVAGC activities. The SVAGC is a
dues-supported group; its monthly luncheons are not sponsored
by invited speakers or other organizations, and only members,
speakers and invited guests may attend. |
