Greetings! On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff at ACCP, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Nashville for ACCP: The Conference 2015. Thank you for coming. This conference is made possible by the work and dedication of members who, through service on The Conference Planning Committee, generously give their time, talent and thought to produce an event meant to deliver beyond expectations. You’ll see the names of the Planning Committee listed on the next page along with our thanks. If you would, please take a moment to shake their hand and say thanks for all they’ve done. This year’s presenting sponsor is Target. Listed on the back cover you will find all the sponsors that have contributed to the financial support of this event. Without them, there is no event. Please join with us and offer your appreciation to the representatives from sponsoring organizations as you meet them throughout the event. This year’s theme, Reimagine Capacity: Defining the Possible was not easily decided. As a Corporate Responsibility professional, you are rising to the challenge of creating both societal and business impacts. You shared that doing things the way you’ve always done them may not be producing the results you want and that while resources seem to be in limited supply, demands are ever increasing. This year, you will engage in conversation and receive content that may well take you out of your comfort zone and even confront what may be conventional wisdom. Get ready for an interesting, thought provoking and maybe even bumpy ride. Know that the goal is for you to leave energized, excited and equipped for the job you have, and most likely love, to do. If you have any questions or need any assistance, the ACCP staff is here for you. Enjoy ACCP: The Conference.
