There are several reasons why I believe being part of the SSF is essential and should be an integral part of every company's toolbox.
1- It is a recognised forum in the industry and a go-to place to consult with other professionals.
2 - It allows members to take part and I fully believe it enhances and adds to your personal development
3 - Regular workshops and conferences ensure you are up to date with the latest trend, regulation and compliance.
4 - I always feel the real value and power is being part of such a vast professional network, with the added advantage of the breakout specialisms to narrow down on the expertise you need.
5 - Support and reference material is on hand if needed.
6 - Social media interaction. Great post all the time always relevant and timely, keeps the finger on the pulse and just what is needed.
7 - SSF UK as an organisation does have a certain amount of power and influence, some of the takeaways from the conferences certainly have changed the way companies do their Business.
8- Not for profit. Simply put is a forum for the benefit for member and the SSF community, just refreshing.
I love my role as Co-Chair of OTC, to learn and share and steal from others is just brilliant. I had some great support when changing positions, this was so welcomed at the time and spurred me on.
