Program Details:
 The world of executive compensation continues to change dramatically as disclosure of executive pay becomes more transparent in SEC filings, as well as a hot topic among political candidates.  Join us for a panel discussion on the lessons that we continue to learn, two proxy seasons after the final disclosure rules took effect.  The panel will consist of different players in corporate executive compensation disclosure, including an executive compensation manager, an executive compensation consultant, a proxy voting solicitor, and a moderator, each from different organizations. Together, these people constitute the backbone of putting together the proxy materials for a typical company.  This program will be an in-depth look into how these roles work together in a checks and balances approach and discuss topics surrounding the latest disclosures, including e-proxy reporting, changes in compensation programs as a result of the disclosures, and investor activism.
