The Heightened Role of the Nominating and Governance Committee

Concurrent Session

Monday, October 20, 2008, 4:15 PM

Expectations for this committee to increase board performance, add corporate value, and optimize board composition have never been higher. We discuss how to identify and nominate directors whose expertise is aligned with the company's strategic and operational challenges and how to plan and execute board and committee evaluations. We also recommend communications practices that meet compliance requirements while responding to shareholders on critical issues, including proxy access, and proactively addressing their concerns.
