Chairman's Column
Coping with Tax Changes Now and Waiting for the Tax Reform Debate
Patrick L. Larmon, Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc.
NAW 2013 Chairman of the Board
In his Chairman’s Column, Pat Larmon provides thoughts on the tax policies you can expect from Washington, DC. If you are sorting out what the tax provisions of the “fiscal cliff” bill passed by Congress in January mean to your bottom line, think fast, because a whole new set of tax laws could be coming your way. Obama Care tax hikes take effect next year, and some in Congress are calling for more than a trillion dollars in still more tax hikes. And everyone wants “tax reform”—but positive reform remains solidly in the eye of the beholder. So what can you look forward to?

Billion Dollar Company CIO Roundtable
June 4-5, 2013
The NAW Billion Dollar Company Chief Information Officer Roundtable for direct members was created as a new mechanism for the CIO’s of large distribution enterprises to network with non-competing peers in multiple lines of trade on key IT issues.
Similar to other billion dollar roundtables NAW has created for the CLO, CFO, Operations, and Human Resource executive, this by invitation only roundtable is composed of executives from billion dollar companies that meet in Chicago two times per year. This highly interactive group consists of the SENIOR-MOST IT executives. The annual fee is $1,800 per member, which covers meeting costs for two events in a twelve month cycle. Participants are expected to cover the cost of their hotel and travel. Once the annual fee is paid, there are no additional fees to attend the meetings, which will last one day beginning with a reception and dinner the evening before.
The participating companies can also name an alternate who can take the place of the enrolled Executive, should that person be unable to attend the scheduled meeting.
