Renaissance Executive Transition Forum, composed of top Executives who are highly educated and highly accomplished, meet for networking and peer mentorship.  They share their successes and their obstacles.  An obstacle that gets brought up every meeting is the lack of follow up by Executive Recruiters and Hiring Managers once a candidate has applied to a job.  With the advent of online job applications the process has become very impersonal.

		<description><![CDATA[A Senior Financial Executive's job is so much more than straight accounting.  However, shareholders feel like they were blindsided by the massive banking and corporate failures over the past five years.  They want Senior Financial Executives to provide financials that are accurate and provide transparency into the health of a corporation.  Certified Public Accounts are the experts on providing what the shareholders are demanding.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment for a number of accounting and finance specialties will rise as fast or faster than the average for all occupations in the coming years.  In fact, accounting was listed as one of the top 20 industries that would experience the most growth through 2018.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talevine.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6791806&amp;post=317&amp;subd=talevine&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2011 is the year of Corporate Board Accountability to the shareholders, the SEC and the Courts. This is not the theoretical accountability of the past but hard facts transparent accountability. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will come into play in 2011. Most people have heard the saying, "What gets counted, gets done." In this case, Congress and the SEC are taking this philosophy a little further, "If you don't record your actions with transparency for the shareholders, then you are done." Not only is the SEC calling for accountability but Shareholders are suing in greater numbers.
