Community-Centric Leadership

This event was curated by and for the Nashville Leadership Board, a group of local leaders committed to the idea that national security and critical infrastructure resiliency is strengthened through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, diversity, and leadership development.

Their collective insights and recommendations influence every aspect of this program including speakers, topics, and technology partner participation.

Dinner Topic:

For decades, security was budgeted, measured, and perceived as a cost of doing business. That era is over. Today's most effective CISOs tie security investment directly to revenue enablement, customer trust, deal velocity, and competitive differentiation. In this session, Charles Spence, SVP of Technology at Managed Health Care Associates and a 25-year CIO/CISO veteran across healthcare and regulated industries, shares how security leaders reposition their function in the C-suite. Attendees will leave with metrics that resonate with CFOs and CEOs, coalition-building strategies across legal and the business, and a practical framework for turning security into a value narrative the board wants to hear.

What Attendees Will Take Away

  • A metrics framework that translates security posture into language CFOs and CEOs act on
  • Proven approaches for building coalitions with legal, compliance, sales, and the business
  • A repeatable value narrative CISOs can bring to their own boards within 30 days
