Advisory Board Established for Compliance Week 2010

By Compliance Week — September 29, 2009

ompliance Week officially announced the creation of a corporate Advisory Board for Compliance Week’s fifth annual conference, which will take place at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., May 24-26, 2010.

The event, “Compliance Week 2010,” has been described as “the ‘Davos’ of compliance,” as it draws hundreds of compliance, risk, finance, legal, and audit executives for a multi-day exploration of current practices and regulatory challenges.

“Compliance officers converge here every year,” noted Qwest Communications’ Chief Risk and Compliance Officer David Heller at the 2009 event.

Fannie Mae Chief Compliance Officer Bill Senhauser called the conference “a remarkable annual gathering of CCOs.”

Every year, a corporate Advisory Board is established to work closely with Compliance Week Publisher Scott Cohen and Editor Matt Kelly. Says Cohen, “The board plays a crucial role in helping Compliance Week assess critical issues, establish agenda topics, and even conceptualize specific sessions.”
