We have a roster of exceptional speakers, and the board and I h ave some uplifting news to share. As always, we will reflect upon pressing issues and provide succinct, actionable insights and forward-thinking that advance your organizations’ and BHEF’s COVID response and strategy. Leading up to our meeting, I was on one of many calls about the return to working from offices. In one conversation, session II panelist Ken Cooper cited a quote by Winston Churchill, which I thought was apropos: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” What we know—and do not—about the virus evolves almost weekly and will continue to shape how we work, learn, and live. With this in mind, our sessions are built to ignite vigorous conversations. The Hill Editor-at-Large Steve Clemons, who facilitated our successful Winter 2019 member meeting, will return to moderate the afternoon’s sessions. We will begin with the C-suite perspective. Because of the pandemic, nearly every facet of doing business had to be reexamined for short-term survival and long-term advantage. While the crisis has brought numerous concerns and difficult decisions, it has also sparked extraordinary agility and ingenuity. With Tom Caulfield, GlobalFoundries CEO, and Allen Blue, LinkedIn co-founder and vice president, we look forward to a dialogue that will reveal how strategy and execution in 2020 have evolved due to COVID-19. We will segue to a panel of HR leaders who will share insights from the past 120 days and their thoughts on what’s to come. We are delighted to have Columbia Professor Yvette Burton, author and industry analyst Josh Bersin, and Bloomberg Head of HR Ken Cooper with us. Positioned at the forefront of talent development and acquisition, these experts will articulate how the talent landscape has shifted and how leaders are employing empathy and other skills to fight COVID fatigue and rise to the new way of work. Our final session will provide an update on the next stage of BHEF’s engagement with the National Science Foundation. In mid-May, BHEF submitted a $5M proposal to develop and launch the Upskilling Solutions Marketplace, which bridges employer-facing labor market and skill-level workforce insights with university micro-credentials to increase continuous learning opportunities, improve access to skilled-talent pathways, and increase American workers’ proficiency in essential digital technology skills. Lastly, at the meeting and in the coming weeks, you’ll be hearing more about BHEF’s COVID Task Force: its purpose, participants, and products. I look forward to seeing you soon. Regards, Brian K.
