The AFERM Summit Planning Committee is actively planning another stellar set of presentations for this year’s 15th Annual ERM Summit Training Event. This year’s Summit Planning Chair is Mike Batlogg at SEC and the Co-Chair is Kathy Zelnik at the Dept. of Education.

Join your fellow ERM practitioners at the 2022 AFERM Summit Training Event on October 26-27, 2022 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center and online. AFERM will bring together experts from across the Federal Government and other sectors to share how ERM positions organizations to best navigate the most critical unknowns ahead. Come join your colleagues to learn leading practices on the following topics with inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, and engaging sessions:

• Integrating ERM into the Larger Agenda – How to align ERM with the broader enterprise objectives beyond traditional compliance and operational areas.

• Delivering Value to Decision Makers – Understanding leadership priorities and engaging ERM to deliver true value.

• ERM as the Facilitator – ERM practitioners play a valuable role in connecting playmakers from across the enterprise. They facilitate the right discussions, supported with the right information, that brings tangible value.

Participants will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 CPEs during this year’s Summit Training.
