"Data privacy and security are among the most pressing issues facing organizations and society today. Balancing the needs of stakeholders – shareholders, employees, communities, and consumers – with the imperatives of regulation, whether passed or proposed, presents a significant challenge," said Susan Getgood, Senior Fellow at The Conference Board's Marketing & Communications Center. "As our Fellows continue focusing on the importance of data privacy compliance and the larger issue of digital ethics, we're delighted to honor those who are leading the way in identifying innovative solutions."
The awards event will also include a panel discussion around innovation, regulation, and digital ethics. Moderated by Susan Getgood, it will feature panelists from the organizations that are the recipients of this year's Fellows Choice Awards. Event registration is available here.
