Cybersecurity
In the rapidly evolving threat landscape of cybercrime, reactive or one-off measures may not be sufficient to secure your organization’s systems and data. Sophisticated organizations are moving toward managed cybersecurity services that include cloud security and data security protection across network, servers, applications, users, and secondary devices. In this session, AAFCPAs' IT Security Professionals, Vassilis Kontoglis and James G. Jumes outline how managed security can extend your IT teams capacity to deal with evolving threats in a smart and highly responsive manner and provide peace of mind to your Risk Management Committee.

Panel: Insight from CFOs on Data Use
Data analytics and data visualization tools are enabling CFOs to leverage real-time insights and accelerate fact-based decision making. The rise of Big Data brought this to the forefront years ago, however the dramatic events of 2020/2021 made it a mission-critical part of the finance function. In this challenge, solution, outcome-based panel discussion, Nonprofit Finance Leaders discuss how their 2021 data analytics initiatives helped to answer Key Business Questions and bridge the divide between seas of data and meaningful action. This panel will be moderated by Vassilis Kontoglis.
Building a Best-In-Class Finance Function
How do you know if your finance function is stuck in a rut? Do you manually produce the same reports, year after year—long after they have stopped being useful to management? Do you spend too much time making sure your numbers are right and not enough time figuring out what the numbers mean or what to do about them? Are you too caught up in your function’s highly specific challenges to understand what best-in-class performance looks like and how to achieve it? In this interactive session, AAFCPAs’ Managed Accounting Solutions leaders, Joyce Ripianzi and Lauren Duplin, provide insight to help CFOs get out of the rut and step up performance! Watch Webcast >>

Keynote: Laura Lanzerotti, Partner, The Bridgespan Group!
Laura leads Bridgespan’s work in Innovation Strategy and Collaborative Processes. Since joining Bridgespan in 2006, she has supported a number of institutional and family philanthropies to develop and refine their impact strategies and nonprofit leaders to pursue innovation and scale in a variety of fields including early childhood, youth development, economic opportunity, and place-based change. Some of her recent clients include The Studio @ Blue Meridian, PolicyLink, Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), Eden Housing, and Hopelab.
Laura’s specialty is designing innovative and inclusive strategy processes, including a project for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation that engaged hundreds of people in developing an economic development plan for their community, an “open strategy” project for the Wikimedia Foundation to which over a thousand people across the globe contributed, and support for a group of funders in the early childhood field to help them align investments to improve kindergarten readiness.
Laura is co-author of “Twin Engines for Propelling Social Impact,” (Stanford Social Innovation Review, 2021) and “Is Your Nonprofit Built for Sustained Innovation?,” (SSIR, 2017), among others.
The Keynote session will be moderated by AAFCPAs’ Managing Partner Carla McCall, CPA, CGMA.
“I encourage registrants to read Laura’s above articles and to come with questions for our keynote,” said McCall. “We recognize that it may be challenging for nonprofits to innovate while still focusing on their core. In discussions with Laura, I’m excited about her success stories and rises in more flexible funding that allows for experimentation and failure!”
