AACA Meeting: June 17, 2008
AACA Annual Rountables
You’ve got questions? Your peers have answers! We all know the value of finding out how other companies manage their compensation practices. It can give us new ideas and provide peace of mind. Plan now to attend the annual AACA roundtable event which is designed to give you the opportunity to ask your fellow compensation professionals specific compensation-related questions. This year, we are going to change the format slightly, and have tables assigned for two distinct tracks:
- Employee Compensation – discussion topics may include market pricing, merit modeling, geographic differentials, total rewards communication, job evaluation, variable pay, etc.
OR
- Executive Compensation – discussion topics may include long term incentives, pay for performance, proxy disclosure, performance management, current trends, etc.
We will have facilitators for each table to manage the conversation, but the topics discussed at each table will vary based on your input. Have a compensation situation that you can’t figure out but you think is unique? Ask the table for their thoughts – you never know who might have been through something similar before!
The roundtable session is highly valued by participants because it is a great way to both get questions answered and network with your fellow members. Register now…and don’t forget that you can bring guests for free. If you can’t decide between executive compensation and employee compensation tracks, invite a colleague so that you can divide and conquer.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
- 8:00 - 8:30AM ~ Registration and Continental Breakfast
- 8:30 - 8:45AM ~ AACA Updates
- 8:45 - 10:00AM ~ Roundtables
Please note that this meeting will take place at the Ravinia Club, which is located at Two Ravinia Drive. Take Ashford-Dunwoody to Ravinia Drive (turn right if you are coming from I-285). Take the immediate right, proceed down the hill past Ravinia One, and turn left between the buildings. Park in guest parking (there is a fee). Enter through the main lobby of the Two Ravinia Building and follow the signs to the AACA meeting.
You may register for the meeting at our website,
AACA.net, under the "Meeting Registration" link. We hope to see you there!
***************************************
Remember that attendance at these meetings is free to AACA members, so if you haven't done so already, please renew your membership. Follow the link on the front page of AACA.net to renew through
Paypal, or bring a check to any meeting.
We are also happy to announce that we are continuing our “Bring a Guest for Free” program that was announced before the last meeting. We will waive the $20 non-member meeting fee for guests of AACA members for the June 17th meeting.
***************************************
Our last meeting was a hit! The topic for the April 22 AACA meeting was “Proactive Preparation for an OFCCP Audit”. 80% of the respondents to the Zoomerang survey conducted after the session gave an overall rating of the meeting as very good or great (the other 20% said good) – so if you weren’t there, you missed out! And if you think it was just relevant to government contractors, think again. Every company should review its pay practices proactively. So if you missed the meeting, we encourage you to access the presentation by logging into the AACA web site and selecting the “Past Meeting Documents” section.
