The CFO Forum is a quarterly dinner meeting/ discussion forum for corporate and divisional Chief Financial Officers, Vice Presidents of Finance, Treasurers, Controllers and other senior financial executives from area companies generally with annual revenues between $50 million and $2 billion+. The group has been gathering for over 10 years and 250 CFOs having attended, with a growing group of "regulars." A typical dinner discussion group has a CFO leading the discussion on an important topic of interest, with approximately 20 CFOs attending. We also typically issue 1-2 CPE credits for each meeting. Who else can attend?
