FEI-Atlanta and the founding sponsors (Frazier & Deeter and PNC Bank) continue to offer small-group meetings for financial officers. These groups feature 12-15 financial executives, a pre-arranged topic, and free-form discussion on business issues. The conversations are moderated by a financial executive, and conversations are private, confidential and of benefit only to each individual group. So, click here for the latest Financial Executive Think Tank (FETT) pamphlet about the most recent FETT session.

Be sure to visit the Financial Executive Think Tank page and the Professional Development page for more events.



FEI Atlanta News

FEI Atlanta has tied for first in the 2011 - 2012 FEI Chapter Challenge for Tier 4. Membership growth is an integral part of this success!

In addition, the Atlanta Chapter of FEI won runner-up for Chapter of the Year in its size category (200-300 members) for 2011-2012. Some of the metrics that made the biggest difference included increasing audience attendance by 30%, and meeting all reporting and informational deadlines.

At the National Level

Financial Executives International is the national association of choice for financial policy-making executives, comprising the strongest financially oriented management organization in the country. FEI is the most effective spokesman for the private financial sector of the business community to governmental, regulatory, professional and academic communities.

Established in 1931, membership consists of more than 15,000 financial officers in 74 USA and 11 chapters in Canada, but representing companies around the world. Membership is limited to individuals holding senior management positions, but other finance professionals are permitted to join if they meet certain criteria set by the organization, and serving companies of sufficient size to qualify. There are no company memberships.

At the Local Level

The Atlanta Chapter of FEI was established in 1944 and currently is pursuing additional qualified members from the Atlanta metropolitan area to add to its impressive roster of 250 senior financial executives. The chapter has representatives from major public and private companies, mid-size, and rising developmental firms in the area, across all industries.

Atlanta is one of the oldest and most active chapters in the nation and conducts regular monthly dinner meetings from September through May. Our members consistently cite peer networking as the prime benefit of FEI membership -- the opportunity to interact and compare best practices with hundreds of the top executives in corporate finance, including CFOs, VPs of Finance, Treasurers and Controllers. These are all professionals who share the same business issues and career challenges you face.

Ensure your professional network is optimally active at the local level: Chapter membership is a powerful benefit providing opportunities to network with peers at monthly meetings and sponsor events, discuss timely topics of interest and build lasting relationships in the Atlanta metropolitan business community.
