Meeting Format

Meetings: in-person meetings (approximately 2) each year that are sponsored and hosted by member companies at no cost to members; agenda focuses on a day-and-a-half of topics; meetings are attended by approximately 30 to 60 people

Virtual Discussions: began hosting online discussions (approximately 1-2) via Teams in 2020; each “NECF Chat” is scheduled for two hours; usually attended by over 100 people

Agenda Topics: truly a forum of peers – topic ideas come from NECF membership – committed to member-driven ideas and suggestions for meeting and discussion topics; the aim is to be more than just an exchange of best practices or a place to network but also a source to educate, create awareness, inspire creative critical thinking, and to identify ideas and solutions to meet compliance challenges
