What happens when disruption becomes the norm?

In today’s GRC landscape, uncertainty isn’t an occasional challenge, it’s increasingly the environment we operate in.

At the 2026 NABCRMP Annual Summit, we bring together leaders in compliance and ethics to explore what it takes to lead through persistent disruption.

🎙️ Ronetta Francis, VP, Compliance, Ethics, Risk Management at American Cancer Society
🎙️ Angela Crawford, Managing Member & Founder of Crawford & Associates pllc
🎙️ Monica Thurman, Associate General Counsel at Intel, Business Integrity

From foundational risk management principles to technology, organizational agility, and continuous adaptation, this conversation will examine how GRC professionals can strengthen resilience without losing sight of the fundamentals.

📅 October 8 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM
📍 The Statler Dallas

Join us for “When Things Fall Apart: EGRC in the Persistent Abnormal — Back to Basics, Forward to the Future.”

Because when disruption becomes the operating environment, resilience has to become part of the strategy.

Across GRC, the challenges we face are becoming more complex. Meeting them requires more than individual expertise, it requires connection, collaboration, and trusted networks.

This week, think about one relationship you can strengthen, one conversation you can have, or one piece of knowledge you can share.

And if you're looking to continue building your network, join us as at the annual summit! https://bit.ly/4wfuUaz

Compliance leadership looks different when the decisions get harder.

It’s easy to talk about compliance when the answer is clear.

It’s harder when the business wants to move faster. When the regulations haven’t caught up. When the risk is real but difficult to quantify. When the right decision is unpopular. And when everyone in the room is looking to you for an answer.

That is the reality of senior compliance and risk leadership today.

At the 2026 NABCRMP Annual Summit, we’re bringing together three accomplished leaders for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to lead from the compliance and risk seat:

🎙️ Lisa Johnson, Chief Compliance Officer at Nasdaq, Inc.
🎙️ Ron C. Hamilton, SVP & U.S. Head of Risk and Compliance at BMS Group
🎙️ Tom Torrisi, Chief Compliance Officer & Deputy Head of Non-Financial Risk at Morgan Stanley

Moderated by Jennifer Newton, Founder of NABCRMP, “Inside the CCO Seat: Leading Compliance Through Complexity” goes beyond regulations, frameworks, and policies.

We’ll talk about the human side of leadership.

How do you build credibility before the crisis comes?

How do you challenge the business while remaining a trusted partner?

How do you make consequential decisions when there is no perfect answer?

And how do you carry the responsibility of protecting an organization while still helping it move forward?

Because behind every compliance program is a person who, at some point, has to exercise judgment, speak up, and lead.

That’s the part of the job we don’t talk about enough.

📅 October 7 | 2:30–3:45 PM
📍 The Statler Dallas

Join us in Dallas for a conversation about the realities of leadership from inside the compliance and risk seat.

AI is moving faster than most organizations can govern it.

Every day, leaders are being asked to make decisions about technologies that can transform their organizations—sometimes before anyone fully understands the consequences.

The opportunity is enormous.

So is the responsibility.

Because when AI gets it right, the results can be extraordinary. But when it gets it wrong, the algorithm won’t carry the consequences. People and organizations will.

That is why AI governance can no longer be treated as simply a technology issue. It is a leadership issue. A risk issue. A trust issue.

At the 2026 NABCRMP Annual Summit, Mendy Ouzillou, Principal at MMOmentum Coaching, will challenge C-suite leaders and boards to think differently about what responsible AI leadership actually requires.

With more than 35 years of experience spanning engineering, science, technology, product strategy, marketing, and executive leadership, Mendy brings a distinctly human perspective to one of the most consequential technological shifts of our time.

His session:

“The 10½ Principles of AI Governance for C-Suites and Boards: Generative Results Instead of Avoidable Failures”

will explore the questions leaders cannot afford to delegate away:

Who is accountable when AI makes, or influences, a consequential decision?

How do boards provide meaningful oversight of technology they may not fully understand?

How do organizations innovate without losing sight of legal risk, ethics, human judgment, and trust?

And how do we make sure that in our race to embrace what AI can do, we don't lose sight of what leaders must do?

These are no longer questions about the future.

They are leadership questions for right now.

Today, we honor the work, but we also honor the people behind it...

From protecting organizations and communities, to strengthening systems and shaping the future of GRC, the work we do matters.

But on this Labor Day, we want to remind you of something that matters even more:

You are human.

You were never meant to spend every moment producing, achieving, solving, leading, or proving your value.

You need rest.
You need joy.
You need people you love.
You need moments that have absolutely nothing to do with your career.

Your work is part of your story.

It is not your entire identity.

So close the laptop. Put down the phone. Take the nap. Laugh a little longer. Be present with the people who matter.

The work can wait.

So today, celebrate the impact you make and give yourself permission to rest, recharge, and simply be.

Happy Labor Day, NABCRMP community! 💙
