COMMUNICATION EXECUTIVES COUNCIL

PURPOSE
The OESA Communication Executives Council provides a forum for senior automotive communication executives to identify and address strategic issues, share best practices, recommend solutions and promote the welfare of the supplier industry by supporting the effective implementation of communication practices.

MEMBERSHIP
Council membership is available to the senior communication executive of OESA regular member companies. Membership on the council is held by an individual rather than by a company. Only executives from OESA regular member companies are eligible to participate. Click here to view an OESA membership list.

The council adopted a policy to allow designated alternates to attend meetings in instances when the regular member is not available. It is expected that the alternate will be an executive-level representative, able to speak on behalf of the member company, briefed and prepared for the meeting.

Cost of membership is $750 per year.

MEETINGS
The council meets quarterly at member-selected times and locations. Meetings follow an agenda and feature a roundtable format to discuss previously identified issues. Council members discuss topics and exchange opinions and ideas resulting in either a resolution of the issue or a plan for investigation and analysis. In some cases, issues could result in white papers presented to the OESA board of directors for approval. Results produced by the council are available to OESA members and the public for a reasonable fee.

Speakers may be invited to give presentations on specific issues or topics of interest. Such speakers are typically the leading executive or expert on the subject of interest from industry, academia or government.

Recent focus of Communication Executives Council meetings include:

• Social Media Tools for Marketing
• Adjusting to Technology Trends
• MEMA Activities in Washington, D.C.
• Strategies for Effective Media Communication
