The Fellows Program
Invitation-only community of senior ethics and compliance leaders from organizations with mature programs.
About the Fellows
ECI Fellows convenes senior compliance leaders and select academic experts around the regulatory, enforcement, and operational issues not addressed in published guidance. Discussion topics include AI governance, third-party exposure, board reporting, and enforcement trends.

Regulatory and Enforcement Developments
The EU AI Act, third-party cascade liability, and board-level AI scrutiny are active areas of regulatory development. Fellows discuss these topics in member-only sessions and contribute to proprietary benchmarks including the HQP AI Module.

Peer Benchmarking
Senior compliance leaders from Fellows companies exchange program approaches in member-only sessions covering AI governance, third-party risk, investigations, and culture.

Proprietary Benchmarks
Fellows contribute to benchmarks unavailable outside the community and shape the criteria ECI publishes to the profession.

Senior Peer Network
Fellows membership establishes the senior peer relationships compliance leaders draw on during regulatory inquiries, incidents, and program reviews.
