Are you prepared to advise your board on what the focus will be for the 2015 proxy season?  Will board diversity be an issue?  Or board responsiveness?  Will there be a focus on director independence, including tenure?  Does your Compensation Committee yawn when you mention CEO Pay Ratio disclosure since you’ve been mentioning it for the past year?  What are your institutional investors’ priorities for this year? 

The Corporate Legal Professional Network and The Northern California Chapter of the Society of Corporate Secretaries & Governance Professionals are excited to announce that Holly Gregory, recognized as one of the “100 Most Influential Players in Corporate Governance” and Yumi Narita, who, among other things, is instrumental in BlackRock’s corporate governance policy, will be joining us at 4pm on Monday, October 20, 2014 to help prepare you and your boards for the upcoming 2015 proxy season.
