Nominations for Inaugural Year Now Being Accepted
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial Executives
International (FEI), the preeminent association for financial executives, is
proud to announce that they are now accepting nominations for the inaugural
Financial Executives International Hall of Fame, sponsored by Robert Half
Management Resources and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP.
The FEI Hall of Fame will recognize individuals who epitomize the
performance, leadership and integrity of the most exemplary financial
executives throughout their careers. Since its founding in the heart of the
great depression by eight corporate controllers looking to establish practical
standards and an ethical ideal in a world filled with corporate turmoil, FEI
has been the leader in providing support, education and networking
opportunities to financial executives nationwide. Now celebrating its 75th
anniversary, the organization looks forward to complementing this milestone
anniversary with the launch of the FEI Hall of Fame.
"This is an exciting time in FEI's 75-year history and as we establish the
Financial Executives International Hall of Fame, we look to honor those whose
leadership and contributions have impacted the growth and development of the
finance profession," said Colleen Cunningham, CEO and president of FEI. "We
have many members and colleagues who are extremely deserving of this
recognition, and we look forward to reviewing a diverse array of nominees."
Paul McDonald, executive director of Robert Half Management Resources,
said, "The FEI Hall of Fame provides an opportunity to recognize financial
executives for their contributions to the profession and commitment to
excellence throughout their careers. As a strategic partner of FEI, we are
extremely pleased to be a premier sponsor of this new program in conjunction
with FEI's 75th anniversary and to honor leaders who exemplify outstanding
qualities."
"Deloitte shares the belief that the skills needed to succeed in today's
increasingly global financial marketplace can only be developed through
exposure to widely diverse people, cultures, ideas and viewpoints," said Mark
Edmunds, a senior partner at Deloitte. "None of this happens, by the way,
without leadership. In fact, it's leadership in word and action ... that
affects employee attitudes and drives customer satisfaction. These are the
leadership qualities that will be exemplified by the FEI Hall of Fame
finalists."
Nominees are welcome from all business sectors and are not required to be
FEI members. Winners will be inducted into the FEI Hall of Fame in two
categories: Business and Government/Regulatory. Any FEI member or non-member,
including CEOs, boards of directors, financial analysts and other senior
executives, are invited to submit nominations no later than June 30, 2006.
Nominations may be submitted at http://www.feihall.org. FEI Hall of Fame nominees
will exhibit exceptional attributes in categories considered essential to
executive excellence. Selection criteria include: individual and
organizational performance, leadership, integrity/respect for others,
innovation and community involvement.
A selection committee comprised of corporate leaders that include current
and past FEI leadership and executive board members, and senior level
representatives from sponsor companies, will decide this year's inductees.
FEI's 75th anniversary will culminate at a gala dinner and FEI Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony in New York City this November.
