The NASPP Blog

The “Top Compensation Consultants: Survivor Edition” keynote at last year’s NASPP Conference was so successful that we have decided to continue to infotainment theme for this year’s keynote with “Family Feud: NASPP Style.”

Just like the real Family Feud, we’ll be conducting polls in advance (but on hot issues in stock and executive compensation, not on what you have in your refrigerator).  Our “families” will consist of industry luminaries who will try to guess the poll results and will offer their commentary on the topics du jour.  I think it will be a lot of fun, but will also be an interesting juxtaposition of popular vs. expert opinions on some of today’s most controversial topics.

Nominate a Speaker!
We have identified most of our family members, but we still have two open slots.  For those slots, we have decided to give our community a chance to participate.  You can nominate yourself or someone else to be one of the “family” members.

Here’s how it will work:

1. Enter your nomination.  You can nominate yourself or someone else that you think would be a good fit for the game.
2. The first ten nominees will be put on a ballot; I’ll announce the ballot in the NASPP Blog and our members will have two weeks to vote for their favorite nominee.
3. The top two vote-getters will be placed on the “families.”

(Note:  To keep things interesting and diverse, each of the ten nominees on the ballot must be from different companies. If we receive nominations for multiple people from the same company, the first person nominated will be selected to be on the ballot. Also NASPP employees are ineligible to participate; we’ll already know the answers so it wouldn’t be fair to everyone else.)

Let the nominations begin!
