They are more focused on robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence, blockchain, predictive analytics, cloud-based applications and other advanced technologies. They want to make their financial planning and analysis reports more insightful to more stakeholders. And they are embracing and espousing a more strategic mindset and operating model.

The FEI Chicago Chapter is excited to introduce you to our newest initiative, our IDEA Committee. Much like many of our own organizations, diversity and inclusion are important to the FEI Chicago Board. In order to drive a strong member experience for both new and existing members, the IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity & Engagement Awareness) Committee was formed this summer to build upon the great work of the Strategic Partnership Alliance (SPA) and the Diversity & Inclusion committee. FEI Chicago board member Sharada Sullivan from CBRE is serving as the chair of IDEA. The IDEA committee focuses on partnering with other FEI committees to achieve their goals and the goals of the chapter, while embracing diversity and inclusion to ensure an overall richer and more engaging experience.
