In our Headlines section, we review recent decisions from the Supreme Court in the Loper Bright case and the long-term impact federal agencies’ rulemaking interpretations.

Quotes

22:58 – “I think the community is what runs deep through NSCP and what makes it so special. I mean, I have wonderful friends that I’ve met through NSCP. I’ve had job opportunities that with the help of members of NSCP, it is a very strong community. There’s so many ways to be involved, whether, you know, whether it’s very micro to being on NSCP’s board. So that’s something that Melissa will talk about in terms of volunteer development. But I can speak from my own experience that I felt that, you know, immediately there was a group of members who just were there to help me along the I introduced me to other people got me involved, like whether it was speaking or being on a committee, just being able to have those connections is so important, similar to having your social connections. So that’s something that I’ve always tried very hard to make sure that we maintain and we would maintain those opportunities in various work for our members ~ Lisa Crossley

30:50 – “You look at how the NSCP has evolved over the last couple of years with adding podcasts, adding more virtual sessions, right? We still hear about COVID and how people had to switch up from that and get more creative. We’re sort of in that realm again. We’ve also talked about that with the compliance officer of the future, right? How many of us back in the day thought that we would need to know so much about cybersecurity or any of that type of technology? We have AI, right? That’s a huge initiative all over. So just looking at how we continue to evolve in the subject matter, because the compliance professional of the past is not going to be the compliance professional of the future, right? And so looking at AI, I know that is also a big initiative of Lisa’s is to see not just how we can offer continued resources and AI to our members, but how do we encompass and integrate AI into the National Society of Compliance Professionals?” ~ Melissa Loner
