The Only Constant


As anyone involved in managing events knows, change is the only constant. In our case, despite the fact that we began planning for our upcoming 12th International Conference in Amsterdam about ten months ago, the changes keep coming in. Thank goodness I've got a flexible, responsive and incredibly dedicated team helping to ensure that the Conference will be a great experience. Thanks, all!

Sometimes, change can be good...and occasionally, it can be VERY good! Such is the subject of this post...due to unforseen circumstances, Kerry Chou, one of our plenary speakers in Amsterdam, won't be able to join us after all.

Don't get me wrong...Kerry's a great guy. As the compensation subject matter expert for WorldatWork, he's an knowledgeable and articulate speaker. In that regard, he'll most definitely be missed.

So why is this great news? His replacement on the plenary dais in Amsterdam will be Anne Ruddy, President of WorldatWork (that's her picture above). I've known Anne personally for a few years now, and have heard her speak many times prior to that. Once you've heard her in Amsterdam, I think you'll agree that she's incredibly engaging and passionate about the impact a strong total rewards strategy, including equity, can have on the success of a company.

We couldn't have asked for a better plenary speaker...and are fortunate to have her join us. Please join me in welcoming her to the Conference next month.
