Do you ever wish you could talk to other compliance professionals about issues in your program or the new requirement that everyone is wondering about? Each of us has. How do you find professionals in your area that can talk with you and share their successes and failures? How can you learn more about compliance hot topics and how other programs are responding to issues in their ethics and compliance programs? Join us as we discuss organizing and maintaining a regional ethics and compliance network that can provide you answers to these and other questions. This presentation will describe the organization of groups across the country and how they are helping to provide a forum for ethics and compliance professionals. While information on existing regional networks will be shared, attendees will also leave equipped to develop and organize a regional network of their own.
