As I write, the Speaker Selection team is meeting to consider the presentation proposals sent to the Global Equity Organization for NECF. The proposals cover the areas of administration, plan design, compliance & tax, governance, international, communications as well as other relevant topics.
The team—Keith Pearce of Intel, Clinton Shoap of Cargill, Sandra Sussman of Gilead Sciences, and Ellen Swarthout of Silver Springs Network—has met with GEO's Carine Schneider, Michael Bendorf, and Jennifer Jolin in Foster City, California. All are experienced, senior HR compensation professionals who come to the table with different perspectives. I'm a fly on the wall, as the team takes a thorough look at each proposal to weigh its merit in the areas of subject matter, quality of content, timeliness, as well as the speaker, and throughout the process they keep coming back to the same question: Does the presentation offer strategic value?
We are setting a high standard for our content because we want to create a Forum on how companies can enhance their relationship with their employees using equity compensation as a tool. So we're taking step to ensure that we address the needs of senior professionals.
Our thanks to Sandra Sussman and Gilead Sciences for hosting our meeting, and thanks to the Speaker Selection team for taking time out to help GEO build a strong Forum. A very special thanks to all who submitted proposals. We'll release the agenda next week as registration opens for NECF May 9.
