Twenty-Second Annual Directors' Institute on Corporate Governance

Why You Should Attend 

In this fast-changing environment, Boards must grapple with ever-changing expectations and responsibilities, including oversight of complex operational issues, risk management, board succession, executive compensation, disclosure and responsiveness to and communication with shareholders pressing different concerns. In addition, new laws and regulations, and pressure from institutional shareholders, have put new requirements on companies and on boards.
