So many exciting things are happening at CFO Studio, all of which will benefit our CFO friends and our promotional partners. First of all, there’s our new value statement,“Trust…a CFO!” Question: As it appears here, is “Trust” a verb or a noun? Answer: Based on what CFOs are really about, it’s both! Nominations for the 2016 CFO Innovation Awards are open. Spread the word. What better way to help enhance a peer CFO’s career than to nominate him or her for a well-deserved award? The 2015 CFO Innovation Conference was a huge success, with over 440 CFOs and other executives attending the full-day event at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The presentations and panels were superb, the awards ceremony and dinner on the 50-yard line were very cool, and the after-party with music by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes was a lot of fun. I hear the special onstage guest did okay, too. We received tremendous feedback from guests and promotional partners. Did you know that each promotional partner’s logo appeared on over 100 video screens more than 44,000 times at the 2015 Conference? We’ve got even more exciting plans for the 2016 Conference. Visit www.CFOstudio.com to view photos, read quotes, and for details about the 2016 Innovation Conference. The CFO Innovation Awards Finalists and Winners Circle Celebration in July was very enjoyable, as was The Finer Things Reception we held at the Montclair Country Club. What a great time we had. We’re just as excited about the Q3 Reception honoring CFO Craig Steeneck and Pinnacle Foods (I assume you will read his story beginning on page 8), which CFO Studio will host in the Atrium at Pinnacle Foods’ Parsippany HQ. You won’t want to miss that event! I am pleased to announce the launch of the CFO Breakfast Learning Series, a quarterly event where select regional companies will share knowledge and insights, at which CFOs will receive three CPE credits. Visit www.CFOstudio. com for details. In the interest of serving the precise needs of CFOs at organizations of all sizes and types, CFO Studio has launched Executive Dinners in four categories: World-Class Companies, Middle Market, Small Market (Chair: Bill Craig, Tarantin), and Tax Exempt Organizations (Chair: Bob Barry, Community FoodBank of NJ; Co- Chair: Cheryl Marks-Young, Easter Seals NJ). Visit www.CFOstudio.com for details and dates, and to request invitations to attend. CFO Studio is going national. In 2015, CFO Studio will hold Executive Dinners in Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco. With our newest promotional partner, SAP, we’ll host World-Class Companies CFO Dinners, and will expand into other events, as well. There is so much more to tell you. Please join us at any of the upcoming events. If you would like to appear in an On-Camera Interview, have your headshot photo taken, if you have a suggested discussion leader for an Executive Dinner, if you’d like us to publish your 500-word business article in CFO Studio magazine, or if you just have a great idea about an article or how CFO Studio might create greater value for CFOs and our promotional partners, please drop me a line. Remember that all CFO Studio events, services, and otherwise are available to CFOs and their companies at no cost. I hope to hear from you soon.
