COUNCIL HIGHLIGHT
CEO Council Address the Industry’s Current Issues Supply chain shortages, industry volume fluctuations, emerging technologies and the impact of government policies are a few of the timely and relevant topics discussed during OESA Chief Executive Officers (CEO) Council meetings. Facilitated by OESA’s president and CEO, Julie A. Fream, the CEO Council provides supplier leaders the opportunity to hear from industry executives and thought leaders on issues that directly impact their organizations. Due to the pandemic, the Council currently meets twice a quarter via Zoom to discuss issues and concerns. Additionally, OESA and MEMA conduct half-hour updates every other week with Council members to ensure timely communication of these issues. Participation in the Council is open to CEOs (or the highest-level executive in North America responsible for OE business at their organization) of supplier member organizations. The Council is comprised of 90+ members that represent all types of companies within the OESA membership. This diversity promotes a greater understanding of the issues and makes lively and candid roundtable discussions. The remaining 2021 CEO Council meeting dates are listed below: • May 12 (2 hours via Zoom) • June 22 (2 hours viz Zoom) • September 1 (location tba) • December 8 (location tba) To learn more about the council, click here or contact Julie Fream at jfream@oesa,org.
