    Billion Dollar Company CFO Roundtable

    O'Hare Hilton

    Sponsored by

    The NAW Billion Dollar Company CFO Roundtable for direct members was created as a new mechanism for the CFO of large distribution enterprises to network with non-competing peers in multiple lines of trade on key finance issues.

    Similar to other billion dollar roundtables NAW has created for the CIO, Operations, Human Resource executives, and Chief Legal Officers this by invitation roundtable is composed of executives from billion dollar companies that meet in Chicago two times per year. This highly interactive group consists of the SENIOR-MOST financial executives or CFOs. The annual fee is $1,800 per member, which covers meeting costs for two events in a twelve month cycle. Participants are expected to cover the cost of their hotel and travel. Once the annual fee is paid, there are no additional fees to attend the meetings, which will last one day beginning with a reception and dinner the evening before.

    The participating companies can also name an alternate who can take the place of the CFO, should that person be unable to attend the scheduled meeting.

    2010 Wholesale Distribution Manager's Course

    The Ohio State University
    Training: Your Key to Success in a Challenging Economy

    Our uncertain economy continues to mean changes for how wholesaler-distributors conduct business. The old rules have changed, and every distribution company continues to adapt business operations to the difficult environment. That’s why in these challenging times, it’s more important than ever for you to attend and think about the future at NAW’s Wholesale Distribution Manager’s Course (WDMC) this June.

    With their deep experience in the wholesale distribution industry, the WDMC faculty will adjust their teaching to the current economic conditions that prevail and they will challenge you. In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss with other distributors—from various lines of trade—and learn how they are handling the same issues you’re handling and how they are approaching new marketplace realities. Of course, times are tough for your company, but this year is not the time to cut training expenditures that prevent you and your colleagues from attending the course. The valuable training and education experience you will receive at the WDMC will impact the future of your business.
