FDIC International’s Post

With the blink of an eye… first FDIC in the books! I knew FDIC International was BIG, but WOW…. it was WAY MORE than a conference! 🚨 Loved seeing so many familiar faces— reconnecting with friends, mentors, thoughtleaders, including a few I haven’t seen since Squishy Robotics was first starting out; seeing in person those I have only had the opportunity to work with virtually until now; meeting new people passionate about innovation in public safety. 🚨 Motivated and inspired more than ever by the energy and dedication of everyone working toward the common mission of service— the First Responders serving and keeping their communities safe, as well as the technology providers developing innovative solutions in service of helping First Responders do their jobs safer, better, faster. 🚨 Excited about new partnerships and integrations— ad hoc demonstrations of integrated capabilities between technology solutions and discussions about further partnerships to meet First Responder needs. 🚨 Renewed sense of admiration and respect for First Responders— the sacrifices they make in service of their communities and the risks they face each day. The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb was definitely an emotional reminder and humbling to watch. FDIC was definitely WAY MORE than a conference! 🚨🚒🔥 Kirk McKinzie Kevin Sofen Tammy McLean Ray Ivie MICHAEL (Mike) AVOLIO, MSS, TS/SCI Phil Ambrose Rick Markley Mike Mocerino Hannah Stirton Michael Asimor Andrew Fusco Andrew John Leaman Enzo Jia Paul Couston Alex Gorsuch #FDIC2024 #FDIC #LucasOilStadium #FirstResponders #community #partnership #collaboration #technology #innovation

Thanks to PASA for inviting me. Thanks to Jane for seamlessly Chairing the session, and to Anna Taylor and Lorraine Harper for sharing their insights with me. Thinking about the two areas of focus I mentioned: Technical Debt - the debt we have built up over decades of underinvesting in administration technology. Talent Debt - the experienced first wave of administrators have retired, professional trustees and consultants are hoovering talent and firms have underinvested in training and development programs (primarily through COVID worries). We need to invest in talent and create pathways for administration to be a vibrant long term career again. Debt has to be paid, and the only way to balance this equation is to stop thinking of this as a sunset industry and invest with longer term aspirations. There will always be benefit provision, the assets and liabilities do not disappear. That will be serviced in different ways but skills are transferable and new markets present. We will always have retirement savers, from my perspective, and we can flex with their needs. So, in short in my 42 years every sunset has been followed by a sunrise (I have not been to Norway in fairness). If that doesn’t happen, pensions are the least of our worries!! (See ESG policies)

A certification from the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) is not an easy task. I have studied governance (failed one test!) of companies based on USA regulations and best practices and appreciated how they apply globally, and size doesn't really matter on the below topics: - ESG - Environment Social and Governance - Regulatory shifts and strategic implications - Risk Management - Cybersecurity - Talent Recruitment are all challenges on the agenda of the boards of any company, being public in USA, or medium and small size in Europe. RxPack being a pharma packaging company serving global, and local international companies is managing all of the above, by its teams, and with customers, supplyers and partners. #governance #ESG #globalchallenges

Sunrise on the way to NACAC ✈️ As you’re meeting different people over the next few days, remember, how you build your relationships is more important than how many relationships you build. Can’t wait to see many of you soon! #nacac23 #nacac2023 #emchat #highered #higheredmarketing #higheredleadership #enrollmentmanagement
