Time is running out to register for the 27th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament. Do not miss this opportunity.
The 27th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament is where finance and business leaders step out of the usual setting and into something far more relaxed, social, and memorable. Coyote Creek Golf Club offers wide-open views, pristine conditions, and a course designed to keep the day moving and engaging.
The scramble format changes everything. You are not grinding through a round. You are part of a team, playing the best shot and moving forward together. It keeps the energy high, relieves pressure, and makes the experience enjoyable, whether you play every weekend or haven't picked up a club in years.
That is what sets this event apart.
Conversations happen naturally. People stay longer. Relationships develop in ways that they simply do not in conference rooms or during rushed networking events. It is an environment where you actually get to know the people you meet.
Combine that with one of the most scenic and well-maintained courses in the region, and you have a day that feels less like an obligation and more like something you are genuinely glad you made time for.
The 27th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament, hosted by Robert Half & FEI Silicon Valley, will be held on Thursday, June 4th, at the Coyote Creek Golf Club in Morgan Hill.

Next Financial Officers Forum - This Summer!
The Financial Officers Forum (FOF) is a virtual, confidential, peer-level forum built for senior finance leaders who are actively advising, consulting, and operating in complex environments. There are no presentations, no panels, and no scripted content. It's just a real discussion shaped by what participants are seeing right now across their client work.
This is a Vistage-style exchange where CFOs, Controllers, and finance advisors bring current challenges to the table and work through them together. The value is is grounded in active engagements, real decisions, and unfiltered perspectives from peers navigating similar situations.
Topics evolve with the group but consistently reflect what is happening beneath the surface: how companies are approaching system decisions, structuring outsourced functions, navigating audit realities, and refining reporting in high-growth environments like SaaS.
It is a rare opportunity to step into a room where finance leaders speak candidly, share what is actually working, and compare notes without posturing or polish.
If you want a sharper perspective on what companies are dealing with right now (and how experienced operators are responding), FOF is a conversation worth being in.
Financial Officers Forum (FOF) will be held virtually on Friday, July 24th, from 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm Pacific.
