Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: hoofdpijlers | One of those old chestnuts. A forum for Chief Financial Officers of major companies is to be set up. Not absolutely sure whether the hoofdpijlers are referring back to the previous sentence or to the dubbele doelstelling :-( "Mainstays" doesn't really work for me.
De doelstelling van dit platform is dubbel: netwerking tussen top-CFO’s stimuleren en voordrachten rond actuele thema’s organiseren waarbij zowel het onderwerp als de spreker zorgvuldig geselecteerd worden. De combinatie van academische expertise en praktijkkennis staan centraal bij de keuze. Behalve deze twee hoofdpijlers staan ook andere initiatieven, op maat van de CFO, op de agenda van het eerste werkingsjaar: debatten, onderzoeksworkshops en hapklare samenvattingen van en discussies over het beste uit de actuele lectuur over financieel management. |

| Grading comment Decided to clarify things by adding in the word "forum" so I think "the forum's two main focus areas" just edges it. Dennis' idea good but text already mentions "activities" often enough, referring to specific events organised. Thanks, everyone!
