Role, Responsibilities, and Process for Nominating / Governance Committee

One of the major oversight committees of a company’s board of directors is the Nominating / Governance Committee. The committee’s role of managing board composition and governance is more important today than it ever has been. In addition, the Nom / Gov committee’s responsibilities are increasing as investors, regulators and other stakeholders raise their expectations.

This training will focus on the Nominating / Governance Committee’s key role, responsibilities and oversight of various areas including board recruitment, composition, evaluation, and oversight of the various board committees composition and lead directors. We will have director and legal experts to help understand the hard core governance issues facing boards today. We will also cover emerging governance issues and trends such as investor interactions and Environmental Social and Governance (ESG), as well as practical and actionable insights, perspectives and ideas to help maximize performance and outcomes.

In this program we cover the primary elements a director needs to know to be an effective Nominating / Governance Committee Member or Chair.

Expect an Intense Exploration of Nominating / Governance Committee Work Along with Time to Interact with Other Top-Tier Board Candidates and Public Company Board Faculty. There will be a 1-to-1 ratio of faculty to attendees. 

Landing Board Seats is a concise webinar that provides a strategic view of securing or selecting board positions, as well as specific tactical information to move yourself forward and help you navigate the unwritten rules of board search. If you are asking yourself the “What’s” “How’s” and “When’s” of your board search then this information will be crucial. 

The webinar covers topics such as identifying targets, crafting a value proposition, attracting and interacting with recruiters, preparing board marketing materials, leveraging social media, and building board credentials. In addition, the webinar will cover the later stages of the board search including interview strategies, questions, and creating a tailored skills matrix. All of these steps are distinctly different for a board search than for an executive search.

Take advantage of every edge to position yourself to land one of the only 26,000 Outside Director Board Seats in the US. This webinar will set you on a path, better prepared.  

If you can't attend the Webinar, you will be able to access a recording.

Role, Responsibilities, and Process for the Compensation Committee

As executive compensation has steadily increased since the early 1990s, so has scrutiny of pay and the number of compensation standards intended to contain the growth of pay. Dodd-Frank’s imposition of Say-on-Pay in 2011 has been followed up with a host of disclosure rules culminating in the “Pay-vs-performance” requirement implemented in 2022 and the enhanced ‘Clawback’ rule in 2023. The spotlight on Compensation Committees has not dimmed. Regulations and policies are proliferating from both the formal regulators at the SEC and the proxy advisory firms that serve as informal regulators of corporate governance. The growing focus on ESG has further expanded the issues considered by Compensation Committees. Through all these changes, those Committees have had to retain their focus on the principal function of the Board, which is to support value creation at the companies they oversee.

In this program we cover everything a director needs to know to be an effective Compensation Committee Member or Chair, including:

• The role of the Committee, including its charter, fundamental responsibilities, and interactions with management and the rest of the Board
• What the Committee oversees, including pay for top officers, company equity plans, pay-related disclosures, and an increasingly broader set of human resource issues
• The Compensation governance process, including a typical planning calendar, working with advisors, and shareholder engagement

Beyond the basics, will cover key topics such as:

• Management pay in the context of strategy
• Peer group selection
• Compensation metrics, including GAAP vs. non-GAAP and financial vs. non-financial measures
• Proxy advisors
• Other hot topics, such as how ESG factors should factor into pay

Expect an intense exploration of Compensation Committee Details along with time to interact with other top-tier Board candidates, public company Board faculty, and Compensation/Governance expert faculty.

With all that is going on in the world today, join us for a lively business discussion with your fellow CEOs. The roundtable conversation will likely include a range of top-of mind topics and concerns: the increasingly complex international landscape dynamics with the Ukrainian and Middle East wars and tensions with China; continued domestic and market concerns; a tech downturn; energy uncertainty; escalating prices and an inflationary environment impacting our businesses and hiring. You will hear how other CEOs are dealing with the issues as we provide a warm, collaborative environment allowing for the expression of varying opinions, resulting in thought provoking ideas, innovative solutions, and sincere connections.
