SUMMARY:S401: Spring Symposium: Economic Outlook: Recession 2023? Two (2) Perspectives to Help You With Budget and Scenario Planning for Your Association/Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWith the world emerging from pandemic-inflicted economic shock and continuing geopolitical turmoil\, the future economic outlook of business and industry in 2023 has yet to be determined. Though economists remain divided on whether a recession will occur in the year 2023\, most expect that 2023 will not be a strong year for growth. Companies may experience short-term setbacks but long-term strategies should focus on smart investments\, adaptive strategies\, agile operations and increased labor productivity. \nIn this session\, the participant will gain insights from two (2) different perspectives on the Economic Outlook.  \nConsider these different perspectives that you hear today\, and use those insights to help you in your budget and financial scenario planning for your Association/Nonprofit organization. \nTwo perspectives from: \nAlliance Bernstein:  After a year [2022] full of surprises\, we look ahead to 2023 prepared for even more. The two “shuns”—inflation and\, increasingly\, recession—form the heart of our questions for the global economy and markets next year. What path will they take? And\, if they do take the world by surprise\, which direction seems likeliest? \nSantander Bank:  Growth and inflation will still be causes for concern next year; but markets are already showing signs of a comeback. We expect that confirmation of peak inflation in Q1 2023 may lead to a pause in interest rate hikes by central banks\, which would set in motion the recovery process in fixed-income markets. The recovery of more cyclical assets\, like equities\, should get underway in H2 2023 if central banks announce lower interest rates. More than ever\, it is paramount to balance a short and long-term vision when managing investments as investors should not ignore the need to be invested in real assets and in thematics related to innovation and sustainability. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn about what key factors will impact the economic outlook for 2023\nGain insight into two (2) perspectives on the economy and how that might impact your organization and the industry you serve.\nTakeaway some factors to consider as you develop your next budget and financial scenario plans.\n\n  \n  \nYou can also join us IN-PERSON in Washington\, D.C! (for Associations & Nonprofit Professionals) \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 23\, 2023\n10:00 AM – 2:00 PM @Bernstein Private Wealth Management\n\n800 Connecticut Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20006\n\n\nRegistration:  $25 (includes 4 sessions\, lunch & Happy Hour) You will be invoiced after registration. \nUp to 3 CPE/CAE Credits

A stark reminder that in this rapidly advancing digital age\, organizations must strive for change and transformation if they wish to survive the coming decade. The survey suggests that a multi-dimensional approach is required; one that focuses on automation and innovation while rethinking and refining business models\, operations\, and customer experiences. Clearly\, only those who recognize their need to evolve and adapt to external factors will be able to maintain their vitality in the long run. \n“Future proofing the office of the CFO” recognizes the reality that the role of the CFO has drastically evolved over the years\, and will continue to do so in the future. CFOs are now seen as the CEO’s strategic business partner\, equipped with an understanding not only of the company’s budget but also the economics of trends occurring in their field\, giving them unique insight and enabling them to create business value and fuel transformation. \nToday’s CFO is just as much the organization’s Chief Transformation and Risk Officer\, as it is evident that their abilities go far beyond merely crunching numbers. With this newfound responsibility bestowed upon them\, CFOs have become increasingly important figures in leading their organization towards successful transformations. \nIn this panel discussion\, you will learn how 3 CFOs of leading Associations/Nonprofits are working towards future-proofing their role and their organization. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn about the evolving role of the CFO in transforming the organizations that they help to lead.\nGain insight into how CFO’s are focusing on automation and innovation\nLearn how CFOs are functioning as the Chief Transformation and Chief Risk Officer of the organization.\n\n\n\nTO RSVP FOR VIRTUAL ONLY \n    \n \n \n\nNote: The below button is for IN-PERSON!
