For most finance leaders, AI isn't a question of "if" anymore - it's "how do we actually make it work, day to day?"

Join FEI Houston for our October Dinner Meeting, "AI in the CFO's Daily: Building an AI-Empowered Finance Team," featuring Anna Tiomina, fractional CFO and founder of Blend2Balance. Anna will share what this journey really looks like in practice - getting teams past the initial pushback, building an internal AI champion or center of excellence, and tracking real ROI instead of vanity metrics.

Expect a quick state-of-AI snapshot followed by practical lessons from finance teams doing this work right now, so you leave with a few things you can try immediately. With 15+ years of finance leadership - including eight years as CFO of a global IT firm - Anna knows both the numbers and the day-to-day reality of leading a team.

The evening includes a Professional Development session, social hour, and dinner. Up to two (2) hours of CPE credit available.

The real work of a board doesn't happen in the boardroom - it happens in the committees.

Audit, Compensation, Governance: these are where oversight is sharpened, strategy takes shape, and real influence is built. But how they operate, and how they work together, isn't always clear from the outside.

Join FEI Houston for our 5th Annual Women on Boards: Committees, Collaboration & Influence, where we'll go inside the boardroom to explore how committees are structured, how responsibilities are divided, and how members build credibility and contribute meaningfully within them.

Whether you're already serving on a board or preparing for your first seat, you'll walk away with practical insight into how the work really gets done - and how you can be part of it.

One (1) hour of CPE offered.
