What is leadership? Our nation has certainly seen its share of leaders throughout its history--former presidents, civil rights activists and industry champions. Each has played his or her part in molding our present, just as today's leaders will shape our nation's future.

For the past 70 years, Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) has provided valuable and independent business research that has helped generations of finance leaders. Established in 1944, Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) is the research affiliate of FEI. FERF is a non-profit, non-political, educational organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS.
