Marie Tedesco, Chief Financial Officer for Beasley Media Group, Kent Nate, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Bonneville International Corporation, and Doug Lyons, Senior Vice President, Controller and Treasurer of The E.W. Scripps Company, will co-chair The Media Financial Management Association’s (MFM’s) 2020 CFO Summit, which is scheduled for March 5-6 at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Now in its 14th year, MFM’s annual CFO Summit provides an exclusive forum with real solutions to the challenges that CFOs face every day.  Confirmed topics include an update from the Federal Reserve; an equity analyst’s look at cybersecurity concerns for media businesses; the future of media; local advertising; podcasting; political advertising issues and outlook; leadership; and a CFO roundtable.

“The rapid pace of change continues to keep media industry CFOs on their toes,” said Mary M. Collins, president and CEO of MFM and its BCCA subsidiary, which serves as the media industry’s credit association. “Thanks to the guidance and leadership of MFM Board Member Marie Tedesco, along with that of MFM members Kent Nate and Doug Lyons, we have developed an agenda and have recruited the foremost experts to help the industry’s financial leaders identify the best pathways to success for their companies.  Each of our co-chairs was charged with translating these challenges and opportunities into actionable business strategies for industry-leading media organizations and our conference attendees will reap the benefit of their leadership of this year’s conference.”
