Compliance Officers & Teamwork
Compliance officers wear a lot of hats. In many ways, they are the eyes and ears of senior management and the Board of Directors and keep a finger on the pulse of the overall Compliance Management System (CMS). They are likely involved with internal audits, training, change management, etc., just to name a few. The Compliance officer can’t; however, do it all on their own and being both a leader and a team player are essential. We often compare a compliance officer’s role to the game of football. They are often seen as the quarterback that leads the team to success but throwing a block here and there to protect their teammates and showing them they have their back is invaluable.

David and his wife Karen have three adult children, four grandchildren (none of whom live at home!) and two cats (of which Dave is allergic … the cats, not the children!). They recently moved to an acreage outside of Lincoln, Nebraska where he gets to play with his tractor. When possible David can be found fishing, making sawdust in his shop, or playing the guitar and piano. He also enjoys leading worship at his church.
