Every fall, Compliance Week establishes an advisory board of corporate compliance and risk leaders to assist with the development of our conference agenda. The advisory board, nominated by Compliance Week Editor Matt Kelly, works closely with Compliance Week to establish agenda topics, nominate must-have speakers, and even conceptualize specific sessions. Members of the board for Compliance Week 2012 so far are:
- AES Corp. Chief Compliance Officer Peter Jaffe
- Bertelsmann Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer Carsten Tams
- Barclay's Capital Global Head of Compliance Technology Robert Jakobsze
- Medco Chief Compliance Officer Dan Walden
- Unum Chief Compliance Officer Barbara Furey
- Navistar Vice President of Financial Reporting Ted Guy
- Timken Co. Corporate Ethics & Compliance Attorney Michele Abraham
- OfficeMax Director of Compliance and ERM Colette Simo
- International Paper Co. Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer Stephen Donovan
- Barrick & Co. Assistant General Counsel Jonathan Drimmer
- Home Depot Manager, Corporate Compliance & Ethics Jill Edmondson
- Novartis Brazil Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer Alexandre da Cunha Serpa
The members are superb, hailing from a wide range of industries and disciplines within that broad heading of corporate governance. All have struck us as some of the most thoughtful voices out there speaking about real, practical challenges to corporate compliance, and all have been eager to offer advice and ideas on how to push the field forward. That's what we aim to achieve with our annual conference, so we're thrilled to have their help.
Compliance Week subscribers are urged to get involved in the planning process as well. Sessions and topics can be submitted to Kelly at mkelly@complianceweek.com.
